Red Light Therapy for Dry Eyes and Dry Mouth

Hi @kacey1, I haven't tried red light therapy for dry eyes or mouth but I think there is some evidence that it can help. While you wait for others to respond, here are a few references on your question.

Are you looking at a specific red light therapy product?

I am scheduled to begin these treatments soon. For over two years I've been doing two drops of Restasis a day, Systane Complete twice a day and a heated eye mask twice a day. My dry eyes haven't improved so the light therapy was highly suggested by my eye specialist. Unfortunately, insurance doesn't cover the procedures but thankfully they aren't too outrageously priced and requires 4 required treatments for the first year and only one treatment every year thereafter. I was told it will help to (hopefully) aid the glands to begin to work some but the eye drops will need to continue throughout the rest of my life. Let us know what you decide and your opinion of the procedure.
