Is a red light screen good for eyes?

Is red light good for your eyes? Honestly, I’ve been wondering the same thing! I saw that article about red light therapy and how it might help with age-related stuff, you know, the kind of stuff I’m starting to worry about – wrinkles, and, yeah, even my eyesight’s not what it used to be.

So, the research – or lack thereof – is kind of a mixed bag, isn’t it? They say some small studies hint that red light might have some benefits, maybe something to do with stimulating cells or something? I don’t fully understand the science, to be honest. But, get this, they need way more research with actual humans, not just lab rats. Makes sense, right? Rats don’t get reading glasses.

And here’s the biggie, the thing that really stuck with me: don’t go DIY-ing this. Seriously. I almost bought one of those red light therapy lamps – they’re all over Etsy and Amazon. But then I remembered my friend Sarah, she tried some weird light therapy thing for her acne, ended up with a nasty burn, and now she’s terrified of anything that plugs into the wall. So yeah, I’m definitely staying far, far away from self-treating anything with lights. Maybe I’ll stick to eye drops and less screen time for now. That seems safer. What do you think?
