There is a natural slow decline in contrast sensitivity, which this purports to treat, which has some importance but most patients dont actually complain of this unless its significantly worsened (like in macular degeneration).
Anecdotally, I just received an AG-plus1485-5s, which is a much more powerful "full body" panel (it's really only 1/2 body, but that's how all of these are marketed).
The issue is that the problem this tries to address may not be an important issue. The main reason that people “naturally lose vision” with age is cataracts (not retinal sensitivity), but modern cataract surgery has essentially cured the disease. It is essentially expected for patients older than 80 to have 20/20 vision in both eyes (with with glasses prescription).100 year old patients who are 20/20 thanks to cataract surgery. Patients who get cataracts usually tell me they feel they see better than when they were a young adult.

Interestingly, the time of day at which it's used is critical. No improvement in colour vision was seen with RLT in the evening; only first thing in the morning.
investigate Prof Glen Jeffery UCL's research on this (he has some interviews/appeared on youtube interviews too). He suggests red light works to improve colour vision and prevent age-related macular degeneration, and slow its progression in AMD patients. The simpler handheld devices work fine, both red light (670 nm, but maybe 630 nm too to a certain extent?) and the invisible NIR (at even lower dosages) 810 nm (or 850? probably both), and 1050 nm (easily the lowest dose).
You can get these as LED strips to hang above your monitor and leave it on throughout the day. I have a relative suffering from this and she endorses it.

I'd highly recommend it; got it for 420 EUR, about 1000 EUR less than similar competition, but still featuring 5 wavelengths at high power. Just no remote or dimmer, and top mounted power cable, which was absolutely no issue for me.
It has noticeably improved my eyesight among other things. My eyes/brain in general feel like they can focus on objects faster, and it's almost no effort to move them around and refocus on things if that makes sense. It's hard to explain but imagine you're tired and you just want to stare into space and not look around too much, it's the exact of the opposite of that. Some of this could be because the full body panel *dramatically* improved my sleep already because of its effects on melatonin and circadian rhythm, which may or may not happen for you if you just get a smaller torch-like device or LED strips.
In other words, this sort of feels like a hammer trying to find a nail. Its neat if it works in larger trials, but unless theres something ground breaking that Im not seeing here I wouldnt prescribe this to the average healthy patient (in spite of age). Id hope however that maybe this could be helpful in diseases like macular degeneration where we have very few effective treatments, and may have some mitochondrial roots.
Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support.
I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized.
he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that.
he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened.
he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence.
i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me
i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction.
after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly.
things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it.
we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe …
our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far?
this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
