@pawprintpeg Is this something your eye doctor suggested? You need to read everything you can find! If there is a problem, you could lose vision! What is recovery time? Do you have anyone to stay with you, if needed? And, what about cost?
I’m not trying to be ‘Debbie downer’, I’m just giving you some things to think about.

Thanks. Good thoughts and I’m not actually using red light on my eyes but was wondering if any research on how it would affect the eyeballs themselves.
The light passes by my eyes sometimes and hasn’t been a problem. The jagged edge to my vision has been random and occasional for a few years now. It seems when I’m really tired or starting long at screens.

My 90 year old neighbor was suffering from severe sciatica pain and could hardly walk. I suggested she try
red light therapy (RLT). They bought a $119 red light panel from Amazon. She said after 10 days treatment pain was much less. After 15 days she was pain free. Her Husband told me that telling them about RLT was the best Christmas present they ever had. She continues to be pain free using RLT.

I am doing Prism Light Pod Therapy (whole-body photobiomodulation therapy) 3x/week for chronic pain due to erythromelalgia, a rare (currently incurable) nerve pain disease. It took awhile to see substantive results, but I'm now into my 3rd month and my nightly pain has noticeably decreased, allowing me to get much needed sleep. I anticipate that I will invest in a full body red/infrared panel at some point. I am 80 and suspect I will need this therapy for the rest of my life. I no longer have to dread going to bed and that is such a blessing.
