    I bought a small red light & nir device a few years ago and have used it on and off. It definitely helps with muscle and joint pain. It's good to know it helps with the vision and I believe I'm already getting the required amount.

    The study "Optically Improved Mitochondrial Function Redeems Aged Human Visual Decline" stated - " Participants were asked to use the light to illuminate their dominant eye every morning for 3 minutes and to repeat this daily for 2 weeks." So this seems to contradict Dr. Huberman's assertion of using red light therapy for only 3 minutes a week. Is there a citation somewhere for the 3 minutes a week recommendation? I would prefer that over daily if possible.
    Additionally, it's very important to state the illumination intensity. From the study "Energies at the cornea were approximately 40 mW/cm2 which often resulted in a mild green after image for approximately 5-10 seconds."
    This would suggest that you would want to measure 40 mW/cm2 at ~660/670nm where you plan to place your eyeballs in front of the red light device. 100 mW/cm2 might be way to intense (or even damaging?) and 10mW/cm2 may have no benefit at all. You would need a solar power meter or spectrometer to correctly measure this before staring into the light.
    Of course this was a pilot study so more investigation is needed. Are the benefits permanent after 2 weeks or do you need constant therapy of unknown duration and intensity to maintain? And what, if any are the long term effects? There are no answers yet.

      In his podcast (Huberman Labs) he says what you said: 3 minutes daily for 2 weeks within 3 hours of waking at 670nm and 790nm preferred, but the usual 660nm/850nm is okay and the 670nm only devices are okay too. The results last "for some time, weeks," but will probably need re-treatment and it's unclear if a state of permanent repair is reached. Yes, he is what I call "Huberman vague" on that. Also, I have looked far and wide on the internet and Amazon in particular for these filters you can put on a flashlight or other light source to no avail. In his podcast, he says they are readily available for just a few dollars, but of course he doesn't say where. Have you found them?

You need specifically LED light that does it. and those do. Just look for beekeper flashlights that have this specific wavelenght in their description. Filters on regular flashlight will just color the light instead, so they're useless for red light therapy.

      I picked up a $50 led panel via Amazon about a year ago. Roughly 12in x 12in, 196 separate diodes, 98 at 660nm, 98 at 850nm. Built in timer, 4 separate intensity settings. Is it a cheap plastic piece of hardware manufactured in China? Yep. Does it still work? Yep. The brand is called Hyunlai for what its worth but there are loads of different companies. I've long suspected light source "quality" was not particularly important for this type of usage as Dr. Huberman stated here, contrary to what the brands of semi-expensive units might suggest (joove, platinum etc)I've even considered using brooder incandescent ir bulbs for a fraction of the cost (make sure to use a ceramic base and metal reflector that can handle the additional heat if you do) A side note, if you get a unit that includes diodes (or whatever light emitting type you choose) in the farther spectrum such as with my unit, 850nm - invisible to the human eye, those diodes might appear to not be working. An easy check to confirm is by using a digital camera, such as with most smart phones, placing the optics quite close to the diode in question one will be able to see it illuminates on screen just not to the naked eye. Much the same as the television remote pointed at said camera with buttons depressed will show the flashing infra red light invisibly emanating from the end but picked up by the camera optics. Supposedly the higher number nanometer penetrates deeper into tissue but I don't know of any studies offhand regarding that. There are however many reputable studies showing a very measurable increase in collagen levels and wrinkle reduction in medical participants. Several NIH studies come to mind. Food for thought

    Excellent video and the most detailed explanation of RL Therapy application for eye health. I've been using RNIL Therapy (my device's Power Density is 1,200 mW/cm2 at a 1-inch distance/660 nm/810 nm) for other applications going on several years now, so I was very apprehensive about keeping my eyes open when using that particular device because of its blinding effect. I read numerous articles about the study [3 min, first 3 hours, 1 x week], but none gave as detailed an explanation about the process, and more specifically the wavelength and how to be guided by the natural eyes' protective blinking reflexes, than your video. I do have another 660 nm device (Tendlite), which I will be using for my eye health, so thank you for the critically useful information. The eyes are nothing to play, or experiment, with!

      The range of wavelengths for red light is typically between 620-750 nanometers (nm).[1][2] Specifically, the most effective wavelengths for red light therapy are in the mid-600 nm range, around 630-670 nm.[1] This range has been studied extensively in peer-reviewed clinical research and found to be safe and beneficial for various therapeutic applications like reducing pain and inflammation, and improving overall physical performance.[1][4][5]

      hi Karen, I am part of the team that has developed new glasses based on this research work (see above posts), the advice on our website re this (for our glasses) is 'our glasses are perfectly safe to use with replacement lens’s after cataract surgery, however we would urge you to check with your ophthalmic consultant before commencing sessions of deep red light.
      As you will naturally have clearer vision with new lens’s you may find the light too bright until your eyes adjust over time. If this is the case then we recommend that you try closing your eyes or position the our glasses a little further away from your eyes until you have become accustomed to the light. '

      Yes, mitochondria communicate through tubules and have fission/fusion properties. Quantum biology applies, and this is emerging field of study. Photons are particles/waves and travel non-linearly in the body. This is atomic study not molecular study. Early studies 1914 on are pertinent, it's just big pharma/FDA doesn't see this as moneymaking, but will be necessary on spaceships...in fact Dr. Otto Warburg discovered cancer is a mitochondrial disfunction but FDA doesn't treat it this way.

      in the mornings, to simulate sunrise, to stop the cortisol rise during the sleep period, and create diurnal accordance with Circadian Rythm. don't use coffee for 30 minutes while cortisol is in nighttime mode, or you will crash later. be one with natural biology as nature intended. we were 'cavemen' for a million years, and modern men for 100,000 years. modern lighting sucks, incandescent, fires, and candles have better spectrum; not white LED's TV's and cell phones w/ blue light. Specifically, in the eyes is one minute several times a week or three minutes less often, to reset the circadian rhythm. There are actually multiple strategies going on at the same time here, for instance there are huge differences in creating subcellular melatonin vs. blood serum melatonin. did you know that melatonin goes into spinal fluid at night, when sleeping, as body cools and cortisol rises? the pineal gland sits in spinal fluid and releases this melatonin by request of the pituitary gland at sunrise, while the subcellular melatonin is used by mitochondria to create ATP, and there is of course ROS waste going on so you need antioxidants like C and GlyNAC to diffuse or redox the ROS and some immunology like mushrooms to handle inflammation and avoid sugar and useless carbs but get enough fiber to feed the gut bacteria and we need FAT and small chain fatty acids and get your Omega 3:6 ratio lower. Fight tooth and nail for small benefits like a poor person collects pennies for savings be the tortoise not the hare increase your healthspan or you will go broke dying of Alzheimer's and may as well be dead.

      they provide goggles for their protection, you may not need them for your protection. when I use my lights I put a little piece of electrical tape over retina to protect rods and cones, but i want the wavelengths on the whites to make subcellular melatonin in the mitochondria, and for the photons to make more ATP through the conversion of cytochrome C oxidase in the electron transport chain. We are quantum processors of these nonlinear wavelengths inside our body; we are atomic as well as molecular. It will take a while for THE MONEY SYSTEM OF FDA to approve, and is necessary for spaceship travel. have to do it yourself now.

I would suspect this is the majority of panels today which do not just emit only the 670 wavelength mentioned in this video but instead have multiple wavelengths. That said, is it safe for people with combination red-light/inferred light panels to open their eyes?
