Recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and I am terrified

Hi, thanks for your comment. I found out a relative of mine uses Lifepro Vibration plate. Very cheap! I know Marodynes are expensive, but if you read the page on Martin's site, it mentions the gravity of the plate and other parameters. I'm not sure I can get the same parameters with the cheaper ones, but I should research. I am concerned about my retinas. They are fine, but not like a young persons. So I wonder if vibration plates would be safe for me. Martin covers that concern for the Marodyne plate on her site. She doesn't ever talk about any other brands. That doesn't mean Marodyne is the only good brand...but I need to feel that my eyes will be safe. I've searched the internet and have not found any reports of eye damage with low intensity vibration plates.

@gargoy --I have A "Lifepro Vibration" plate which just arrived. On Amazon's site (which I'm weaning myself from) in the questions 'answered' by AI, it's concluded that the Lifepro can be considered both low and high intensity. All depends on the setting we choose. Reportedly, there's little risk to our eyes at the low-intensity levels 1-10.
(At any rate, I will also ask my ophthalmologist.)
"Variable Intensity Levels:
Low Intensity: Speed settings 1-20 (many users mention using levels 1-10 for gentle therapy)
High Intensity: Speed settings up to 99 RPM for more intense workouts
What Makes It Adjustable:
99 different speed settings allow you to start very gentle
9 preset programs (P0-P9) with varying intensities
Remote control for easy adjustment during use
Customer reviews frequently mention starting at very low settings (speeds 1-5) for therapeutic use, lymphatic drainage, and recovery, then gradually increasing intensity for fitness goals. One reviewer specifically mentions using "level 1 at mid speed" for gentle lymphatic drainage."
