Nowadays, many people often "overuse their eyes" due to 3C products, working hours and other factors, and gradually begin to pay attention to eye protection. A new study in the UK points out that using "dark red LED light" to irradiate the eyes for three minutes in the morning can "rejuvenate" the eyes.

            According to SciTech daily, the research team of University College London (UCL) found that irradiating the eyes with 670 nm dark red light for three minutes in the morning can effectively stimulate the energy producing "mitochondria" in the human retina and help restore the vitality and acuity of the eyes.

           It is reported that 20 subjects aged between 34 and 70 without eye diseases were invited to the experiment. After illumination in the morning and afternoon respectively, it was found that the subjects' eyes did not improve in the afternoon; However, if the eyes were irradiated for three minutes between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., the "color discrimination" of the subjects could be improved by 17%, and the effect could reach more than 20% for older groups, and the effect could last for as long as a week.

          In this regard, research professor Glen Jeffery explained that the cells in the retina of the eye will gradually age with age, and the speed of this aging is due to the decline of "adenosine triphosphate (ATP)" which produces energy in the cell mitochondria and the enhancement of cell function.

          Previous studies have pointed out that light with a wavelength of 650 ~ 900 nanometers (nm) can activate the mitochondria and improve their "working efficiency". Therefore, the principle of illumination is like "wireless charging" the eyes, and can restore the function of some photoreceptors.

          Because of its simple principle and no safety problems, Geoffrey is also developing inexpensive and easy-to-use household therapeutic instruments to provide "affordable eye treatment" for more patients with color discrimination deterioration
