Improve Eyesight With Red Light! #eyesight #improveeyesight #vision #improvevision #mitochondria #retina #redlight #photoreceptors

According to a study, if you're over 40, you can improve your eyesight safely by staring at red light!

Unfortunately, as we age, our eyesight starts to decline.

Both our color vision and sensitivity to light decline with age.

Around age 40, the retinas in our eyes start to age because their mitochondria start to decline.

Mitochondria are the powerplants inside a cell that produce energy the cell needs.

As the retina ages over your lifetime, its mitochondria lose 70% of their energy production ability.

In previous findings, photoreceptors in retinas of mice, bumblebees and fruit flies significantly improved when exposed to deep red light.

It seems mitochondria can absorb longwave light around 650 to 1000 nanometer.

Absorbance of deep red light appeared to improve mitochondrial performance to increase energy production in the retina.

In a UK study, 24 people between the ages of 28 and 72 with no ocular disease were participants.

The participants were given a small LED torch to take home and asked to look into its deep red 670 nanometer light beam.

They were asked to do this 3 minutes a day for 2 weeks.

There were no changes in younger participants in eyesight.

However, participants over 40 experienced significant improvement.

Their color sensitivity improved up to 20%, especially in the blue color spectrum.

Their low light sensitivity also significantly improved.

Conclusion: For people over 40 whose vision have declined, it's possible to significantly improve their vision with red light.

The mitochondria in the retinas absorb the red light so it's like recharging a battery.

You just stare at a deep red light and the mitochondria in your retinas absorb the energy.

The procedure is simple and very safe, and it only costs about $15 USD to make the device. (actual device shown, credit UCL)
