Red Light Therapy

New findings suggest that exposure to flashing red light in the morning may help offset age-related macular degeneration by enhancing mitochondrial function in photoreceptors. Just a couple of minutes a day could make a difference for those over 40, but caution is advised—always consult with an eye care professional before trying this method. Interestingly, photoreceptors are most active in the dark, which flips our understanding of how vision works.
