Red light therapy, also known as Low Level Light Therapy or Photobiomodulation, is emerging as a promising approach in the field of eye care, offering potential benefits for various ocular conditions. Deep red light therapy for eyes, which involves the use of wavelengths typically between 600-1000 nanometers, has garnered significant interest due to its non-invasive nature and the growing body of supportive research.

Red light therapy for dry eyes is a great area of interest. Red Light therapy or Low Level Light Therapy has shown to improve tear gland function and improving tear production. In addition, the photobiomodulation effect has aided in helping improved function of the meibomian glands in some studies.

As research continues to evolve, it will be crucial to closely monitor the outcomes and establish standardized protocols to maximize the benefits of this innovative therapy.

Additionally, please be careful about using any over-the-counter red light therapy devices on or around the eyes. Especially if they are not designed to be used for the eyes. If the device is not the correct wavelength, the correct power density or the correct fluence, there could be a risk for vision loss or harm.
