Short term effects of extremely low irradiance photobiomodulation on retinal function, in age related macular degeneration




Conclusions: our pivotal demonstrated that the LED PBM delivered through our new device is a safe and effective tool for improving short-term visual function in patients affected by severe non-neovascular AMD.

Short-Term Results of Photobiomodulation Using Light-Emitting Diode Light of 670 nm in Eyes with Age-Related Macular Degeneration


Conclusions: In this short-term study, the PBM technique in patients with dry AMD showed the potential to improve VA and macular perimetry without causing significant adverse events. A larger number of patients and a longer follow-up will be necessary to further assess the success of this technique in these patients.

Photobiomodulation reduces drusen volume and improves visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in dry age-related macular degeneration


Conclusion: This is the first study demonstrating improvements in functional and anatomical outcomes in dry AMD subjects with PBM therapy. These findings corroborate an earlier pilot study that looked at functional outcome measures. The addition of anatomical evidence contributes to the basis for further development of a non-invasive PBM treatment for dry AMD.

Eyepower Red - essential eyecare for everyone over 40

Image
Professor Glen Jeffery professor of neuroscience at the Institute of Ophthalmology at University College London has developed a new pair of deep red light glasses based on his many years of research in partnership with UK lighting company Planet Lighting to help people of 40 years old and over to slow the ageing of their eyes and even improve their colour vision. These glasses are the world's first low cost eye chargers designed for home use.  Using 670 nm red light Dr Jeffery has proved that this light can slow the ageing of your eyes by giving increased energy to the mitochondria in the retina. He has published papers recently explaining his results, please see here for a report from UCL on some of his findings: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2021/nov/morning-exposure-deep-red-light-improves-declining-eyesight I am working as an official affiliate with Planet Lighting UK to help get the word out about the glasses. They are safe, affordable (£68 plus postage approx $86 ), light, unise...
