Is red light therapy the surprising new frontier in eye health? For years, it's been used for skin rejuvenation and wound healing, but now, exciting research suggests it could hold the key to improving common vision problems. In this video, we dive deep into the science behind red light therapy (photobiomodulation) and explore its potential to help with dry eye disease (and even ditch the drops!), slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in kids, offer support for glaucoma, and even improve vision in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), including insights from the groundbreaking LIGHTSITE III trial. Could a simple beam of red light be the future of vision care? Watch now to find out!
