Light therapies to improve declining eyesight with Professor Glen Jeffery, UCL Institute of Ophthalmology
Thank you SO much for this! I just ordered the eyecharger! I only have dry drusen so far, and I'm doing everything in my power to minimize the progression. I've sent an email to Dr Jeffrey to indicate that, if the researchers want people who can religiously follow a protocol from a distance, or if a research arm is in Canada's capital city, I'd be happy to be part of any study. He mentioned getting people too late, and I don't yet have any symptoms, just the drusen, both eyes... Thanks for starting my day with a touch of hope!
Thank you, Prof. Jeffery!!! Keep sharing the promising info
yes the recharging is from the inducted electro magnetic energy of the red light photons, at that angstrom frequency, matching some of the atoms of the molecules of the mitochondria. And in any way measurable an induction of energy without exchanging mass.
Good afternoon Professor Glen . This is such positive news! 🙏👏 Wow! I don’t understand why your findings haven’t been highlighted on tv & radio ( maybe it was & I missed it ) . I’m so glad that I accidentally stumbled upon an article about your studies when looking up red light therapy for skin rejuvenation. Thank you so much for all the hard work & fantastic research that you are putting into help make our eyes ( and other body parts) function better for us seniors. What a fantastic discovery you have made! 🤩
I really hope that safe and affordable red light led eye products are in production for the masses real soon.
Should you need more volunteers to help with the tests, please count me in 😊( I’m 60) . Wishing you all the very best of success with your ongoing research 🤞Kind regards- Jan 😊.
Thank you for doing these podcasts. I have had migraines since I was in my 20s and have good friends that have migraine. We find it very difficult to shop due to the bright lights. It hasn’t been long since I learned that there is much more blue light in the LEDs than red. For the last last 10 years people have taken migraine seriously…as a neurological condition.
Light plays such an important part in the life of migraineurs. I would really like to try the red light treatment to see if it makes a difference when going grocery shopping.
Thank you wholeheartedly for doing the research you do as you will help people to live a better life.
Thank you ! Very interesting.
I have used a red light pad 660 x 830nm on my GA (closed eyes) for a few years now, and although it is progressing, it’s very, very slow. I lost one through Covid when it turned wet and I didn’t understand the process at that time. I did use the pad at first, then Covid took over and I paid the price. I’ve recently got a 670 lamp, and will be using that from now on. I believe it works and I find it sad that when I bring it up with different specialists I’ve seen, it is brushed off and not even acknowledged, which is really disappointing for others.
Brilliant, concise presentation.
Amazing. Very interested.
Can this red light therapy for eyes prevent or reverse cataracts. Thanks.
Since infra red passes deeply into tissue, can looking at a red light therapy light source with eyes CLOSED be even safer by pre eyelid tissue filtering for the best red spectrum transmission?
As a French medical student working on the effect of red light on mitochondria and the production of ROS in AMD, your presentation is very useful to me.
Do you have a link where I could find your studies published ?
Thank you !
Bonjour !
Je suis également étudiante en France et je réalise cette année mon mémoire sur les effets de la lumière rouge sur la vision. Actuellement je suis en plein recherche de sources et d'études traitant le sujet. Seriez vous d'accord de partager les études que vous auriez pu trouver au cours de vos recherches ?
Merci d'avance !
Hi Ellie, thanks for your comment. If you take a look on the UCL website, your can find a list of Glen Jeffery's publications: profiles.ucl.ac.uk/7465-glen-jeffery/publications

What about dim to warm led?
2700 - 2200k Phillips warm glow.
Would you please do a spectral analysis?
Should have very little blue light but is there any infra red??
Does red light help persons who have Glaucoma ?
I love how he isn't afraid to mention when a study didn't produce a positive result (ie, 'failed'). It seems these days everyone twists the data to return some kind of success so their funding parties aren't upset. I think there's a lot to be learned from saying when a study doesn't work, evaluate why, and adjust.
Eyes open or closed please? I use my red light pad for my macular degeneration, and this is a question I'm often asked. I'm so glad to hear this is being taken seriously.
Hi Robyn, this presentation was given by Glen Jeffery and not a member of the Macular Society team so we would be unable to answer your question. But if you contact Glen directly I'm sure he would be able to help. There's information on the UCL website that may help: profiles.ucl.ac.uk/7465
Close or use the goggle.
I am assuming the people with GA are out of your treatment specs....am I correct? Please reply. Thank you.
Can this work for stargardt desease also ?
Hi, research is still early in this field but there has been one study on light therapies and stargardts. Please see here for more information: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8760100/
Should you close or open your eyes for the red light? How close should you be to the light?
The glasses we use you can have your eyes open or closed and the light is in the glasses, so it is close to the eyes, however these glasses have been very carefully researched and developed (approved by Professor Jeffery) so I wouldn't want to comment on other devices (see my channel if you want info)
Close or wear goggle. I usually stay around 6-12" away.
Where do you get this torch from please
He gives you two websites where you can buy them towards the end of the video.
I just ordered the eyecharger, from Australia to Canada. I couldn't find a website for the other one. Did you get one? Mine will probably arrive 2+ weeks from now... I'd be interested in your experience.
I got one - the Eyepower, mostly because it's British, so are these researchers, and so am I. It arrived relatively quickly and is extremely easy to use, as it's a pair of glasses with a 3-min timer, after which the light switches itself off. I can't notice any difference but you wouldn't notice; you just have to hope the science is right and it's helping.
@@Anna-uv4gr Cool, thanks. I get a retinal scan every 6 months, I'm hoping to stop the proliferation of drusen. I hope it works for you!
@@Anna-uv4gr I have been using them for over a year, my colour vision has improved and so has my night vision
