Do I need to Wear Eye Protection During
Red Light Therapy treatment?
The Most common Question about
Red LightTherapy
This question probably arises because people know
the sun and tanning beds can damage the eyes…
So naturally they wonder, maybe red light can too?
• At least 60% of the radiation coming
from the sun is in the red and near-
infrared end of the spectrum.
• 5% is ultraviolet.
• It’s the ultraviolet portion which can
cause damage to the eyes.
• Red and near-infrared light offer some
protection from the ultraviolet light.
UnderstandingSolar radiation
Ultraviolet light causes damage inthe same way as ionizingradiation fromx-rays or
radiotherapy. but Whenyou get a sunburnyou’re only burnt skin-deep, while a cancer
patient who receives radiotherapy will be burnt throughtheir entire body.
• Typical tanning beds give off 95% light in the
UVA spectrum and only 5% UVB, which is of the
type that converts cholesterol in the skin into
Vitamin D.
• Unlike the sun, tanning beds emit only the
damaging frequencies with no protective red or
near-infrared light.
• In the absence of red and near-infrared light,
ultraviolet radiation becomes increasingly
harmful.
• This is why tanning beds are considered
dangerous and known to cause cancer.
TanningBeds
Tanning beds can be made safer and more medicinal by replacing 50-60% of
the UV bulbs withred or near-infrared bulbs TO SIMULATE THE SUN.

Can red light therapy
improve vision?
Vision improved in patients with age-related
macular degeneration
In a 2008 study, researchers from the University
of Heidelberg, Germany conducted a study on
203 patients (average age 63) with age related
macular degeneration (AMD).
10 patients served as controls and 193 patients
with and without cataracts received four
treatments of near-infrared laser therapy over a
period of two weeks.
Power: 7.5mW
Wavelength: 780nm
Dose: 1.2 J/cm2
Results:
The treatment “significantly improved visual acuity” in 95% of eyes with cataracts and in 97%
of eyes without cataracts. In addition, patients with wet AMD had reduced edema and
bleeding. “The improved vision was maintained for 3-36 months after treatment.”
(Ivandic BT, et al. 2008)
Vision improved in patients with amblyopia
In 2012 the same researchers conducted a study
to see if near-infrared laser therapy could
improve visual acuity in young and old patients
with amblyopia. At the time of the study,
amblyopia was believed to be treatable only in
children.
178 patients were included; 20 controls received
mock treatment and 158 received laser therapy
to their eyes for 30 seconds at a distance of 1cm,
repeated on average 3.5 times.
Power: 7.5mW
Wavelength: 780nm
Dose: 0.77 J/cm2
Results:
The treatment “led to a significant improvement in visual acuity” in 90% of eyes treated in
both adolescents and adults. “The treatment effect was maintained for at least 6 months.”
(Ivandic BT, et al. 2012)
Testimonial of visual improvement from red
light therapy treatment
"Wonderful!!!! I am recommending this to so many people as the results are so
good!!! My eyes are healing almost perfectly…they were 4.5 in prescription and
yesterday I went to optometrist and one eye is now perfect 20/20 and the other
one is close behind!!!... My Optometrist is super perplexed and I laughed so
hard. She said eyes like mine aren’t supposed to correct like that!"
- Kaya
To get a 1 J/cm2 dose using this24 watt handheld
device, apply lightfor 5 seconds from a distance
of 5cm or 50 seconds from a distance of 50cm.
This 24Watt LED device is 3200x more powerful than the 7.5mW
laser used in the two previous studies on Age-related macular
degeneration and amblyopia.
A 2016 review on red & near-infrared light for
retinal diseases
(Geneva II, 2016)
Mechanism of action
The naked mole rat, which literally does not age, has more highly-
saturated tissue phospholipids than rats which live much shorter
lifespans. (See previous presentation on the naked mole rat at: Endalldisease.com/episode8)
Stress
Saturated Free fatty acids
released from tissues
Saturated Free fatty acids
used for energy bycells
Stress
ends
During stress, its tissues release
highly-saturated free fatty acids for
energy.
Thanks to the clean burning effect
of highly stable saturated fatty
acids, it provides energy, then the
stress is switched off and glucose
oxidation resumes.
Malfunctioning cells
Stress
unSaturated Free fatty acids
released from tissues
unSaturated Free fatty acids
used for energy bycells
No matter what you want to call the eye condition, it is likely caused by the same thing: Increased
unsaturation of the phospholipids comprising the eye cells. This changes the nature of the stress response.
This is what the stress response looks like when cells have accumulated a high proportion of polyunsaturated
fatty acids (PUFA) to saturated fatty acids.
Toxic fragments ARE FORMED
FROM PUFA OXIDATION,
TRIGGERINGMORE STRESS
How does red light
resolve the vicious
cycle of stress?
Stress
unSaturated Free fatty acids
released from tissues
unSaturated Free fatty acids
used for energy bycells
Red light interrupts the vicious cycle of stress in a number of ways but here are two powerful ones.
1. Red light inhibits the enzyme COX-2 which inhibits the breakdown of free fatty acids.
Toxic fragments ARE FORMED
FROM PUFA OXIDATION,
TRIGGERINGMORE STRESS
COX-2 inhibition prevents
the release of free fatty
acids
HOW RED LIGHT improves visual acuity
(Prianti AC, et al. 2014)
Stress

Red light interrupts the vicious cycle of stress in a number of ways but here are two powerful ways.
2. Red light neutralizes any existing toxic fragments of PUFA oxidation present in the area.

TRIGGERINGMORE STRESS
Red light scavenges free
radical stress-promoters
HOW RED LIGHT improves visual acuity
COX-2 inhibition prevents
the release of free fatty
acids
(Prianti AC, et al. 2014)
(Silva Macedo R, et al. 2016)
Dietary considerations
For long-term permanent resolution of eye conditions caused by excess unsaturated tissue phospholipids,
a dietary change to more highly-saturated fat is essential.
butter, coconut oil, chocolate fat, and beef and lamb fat contain about
98% saturated fatty acids.

How to Improve Your Eyesight with Red Light Therapy

  • 2. Table of contents 1. Can red light therapydamage your eyes? 2. Can red light therapyimprove vision? 3. How does it work?
  • 3. Do I need to Wear Eye Protection During Red Light Therapy treatment? The Most common Question about Red LightTherapy
  • 4. This question probably arises because people know the sun and tanning beds can damage the eyes… So naturally they wonder, maybe red light can too?
  • 5. • At least 60% of the radiation coming from the sun is in the red and near- infrared end of the spectrum. • 5% is ultraviolet. • It’s the ultraviolet portion which can cause damage to the eyes. • Red and near-infrared light offer some protection from the ultraviolet light. UnderstandingSolar radiation Ultraviolet light causes damage inthe same way as ionizingradiation fromx-rays or radiotherapy. but Whenyou get a sunburnyou’re only burnt skin-deep, while a cancer patient who receives radiotherapy will be burnt throughtheir entire body.
  • 6. • Typical tanning beds give off 95% light in the UVA spectrum and only 5% UVB, which is of the type that converts cholesterol in the skin into Vitamin D. • Unlike the sun, tanning beds emit only the damaging frequencies with no protective red or near-infrared light. • In the absence of red and near-infrared light, ultraviolet radiation becomes increasingly harmful. • This is why tanning beds are considered dangerous and known to cause cancer. TanningBeds Tanning beds can be made safer and more medicinal by replacing 50-60% of the UV bulbs withred or near-infrared bulbs TO SIMULATE THE SUN.

  • 8. Can red light therapy improve vision?
  • 9. Vision improved in patients with age-related macular degeneration In a 2008 study, researchers from the University of Heidelberg, Germany conducted a study on 203 patients (average age 63) with age related macular degeneration (AMD). 10 patients served as controls and 193 patients with and without cataracts received four treatments of near-infrared laser therapy over a period of two weeks. Power: 7.5mW Wavelength: 780nm Dose: 1.2 J/cm2 Results: The treatment “significantly improved visual acuity” in 95% of eyes with cataracts and in 97% of eyes without cataracts. In addition, patients with wet AMD had reduced edema and bleeding. “The improved vision was maintained for 3-36 months after treatment.” (Ivandic BT, et al. 2008)
  • 10. Vision improved in patients with amblyopia In 2012 the same researchers conducted a study to see if near-infrared laser therapy could improve visual acuity in young and old patients with amblyopia. At the time of the study, amblyopia was believed to be treatable only in children. 178 patients were included; 20 controls received mock treatment and 158 received laser therapy to their eyes for 30 seconds at a distance of 1cm, repeated on average 3.5 times. Power: 7.5mW Wavelength: 780nm Dose: 0.77 J/cm2 Results: The treatment “led to a significant improvement in visual acuity” in 90% of eyes treated in both adolescents and adults. “The treatment effect was maintained for at least 6 months.” (Ivandic BT, et al. 2012)
  • 11. Testimonial of visual improvement from red light therapy treatment "Wonderful!!!! I am recommending this to so many people as the results are so good!!! My eyes are healing almost perfectly…they were 4.5 in prescription and yesterday I went to optometrist and one eye is now perfect 20/20 and the other one is close behind!!!... My Optometrist is super perplexed and I laughed so hard. She said eyes like mine aren’t supposed to correct like that!" - Kaya To get a 1 J/cm2 dose using this24 watt handheld device, apply lightfor 5 seconds from a distance of 5cm or 50 seconds from a distance of 50cm. This 24Watt LED device is 3200x more powerful than the 7.5mW laser used in the two previous studies on Age-related macular degeneration and amblyopia.

  • 13. Mechanism of action The naked mole rat, which literally does not age, has more highly- saturated tissue phospholipids than rats which live much shorter lifespans. (See previous presentation on the naked mole rat at: Endalldisease.com/episode8) Stress Saturated Free fatty acids released from tissues Saturated Free fatty acids used for energy bycells Stress ends During stress, its tissues release highly-saturated free fatty acids for energy. Thanks to the clean burning effect of highly stable saturated fatty acids, it provides energy, then the stress is switched off and glucose oxidation resumes.
  • 14. Malfunctioning cells Stress unSaturated Free fatty acids released from tissues unSaturated Free fatty acids used for energy bycells No matter what you want to call the eye condition, it is likely caused by the same thing: Increased unsaturation of the phospholipids comprising the eye cells. This changes the nature of the stress response. This is what the stress response looks like when cells have accumulated a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to saturated fatty acids. Toxic fragments ARE FORMED FROM PUFA OXIDATION, TRIGGERINGMORE STRESS
  • 15. How does red light resolve the vicious cycle of stress?
  • 16. Stress unSaturated Free fatty acids released from tissues unSaturated Free fatty acids used for energy bycells Red light interrupts the vicious cycle of stress in a number of ways but here are two powerful ones. 1. Red light inhibits the enzyme COX-2 which inhibits the breakdown of free fatty acids. Toxic fragments ARE FORMED FROM PUFA OXIDATION, TRIGGERINGMORE STRESS COX-2 inhibition prevents the release of free fatty acids HOW RED LIGHT improves visual acuity (Prianti AC, et al. 2014)
  • 17. Stress unSaturated Free fatty acids released from tissues unSaturated Free fatty acids used for energy bycells Red light interrupts the vicious cycle of stress in a number of ways but here are two powerful ways. 2. Red light neutralizes any existing toxic fragments of PUFA oxidation present in the area. Toxic fragments ARE FORMED FROM PUFA OXIDATION, TRIGGERINGMORE STRESS Red light scavenges free radical stress-promoters HOW RED LIGHT improves visual acuity COX-2 inhibition prevents the release of free fatty acids (Prianti AC, et al. 2014) (Silva Macedo R, et al. 2016)
  • 18. Dietary considerations For long-term permanent resolution of eye conditions caused by excess unsaturated tissue phospholipids, a dietary change to more highly-saturated fat is essential. butter, coconut oil, chocolate fat, and beef and lamb fat contain about 98% saturated fatty acids.
