Although the inclusion of protective eyewear might lead many to infer the opposite, RLT has in fact been proven to be very beneficial for overall eye health. As with basically all applications of RLT, there are both general improvements to be had and particular ailments that it can alleviate.
Essentially, it helps keep your eyes young and healthy, with particular improvements on parameters such as: color contrast sensitivity, age-related macular degeneration, dry eyes, glaucoma, light-induced damage, myopia (short-sightedness), and many more.
If you want to be careful, or perhaps have a pre-existing light sensitivity, you can close your eyes during the treatment. Since the eyelids are quite thin, and the light is quite powerful, much of the light energy will still reach the eye and benefit it.
You can also wear the protective eyewear (which is our official recommendation for legal reasons) or just look slightly away from the light bulbs when using it.
If you ever push the limits of our recommended intensities (found in the manual), it is definitely advisable to wear the glasses. They are also, objectively, the coolest pair on the market (see last slide).
RLT keeps you looking young both for and at others. Ain’t that something.
