A study by University College London, involving a small sample size of 24 people, has shown that staring at long wavelength light for three minutes every day can “significantly improve vision” in those aged 40 and above.
To try to stem or reverse this decline, we sought to reboot the retina’s ageing cells with short bursts of long-wave light
Cells in the eye’s retina begin to deteriorate at around 40 years of age.
To try to stem or reverse this decline, we sought to reboot the retina’s ageing cells with short bursts of long-wave light.”
Jeffery said: “Our study shows that it is possible to significantly improve vision that has declined in aged individuals using simple brief exposures to light wavelengths that recharge the energy system that has declined in the retina cells, rather like recharging a battery.
“The technology is simple and very safe, using a deep red light of a specific wavelength, that is absorbed by mitochondria in the retina that supply energy for cellular function.”
