Use eye protection whenever the red light therapy beds manufacturer, clinician, or facility requires it. Red and near-infrared light can appear less harsh than ultraviolet light, but brightness and exposure still vary substantially among devices. Closing your eyes is not always an adequate substitute for the protective eyewear specified by the red light therapy beds manufacturer, especially when the face is close to high-intensity LEDs.
Do not stare into the light source. Keep the protective eyewear properly seated for the entire session and check that it is clean, undamaged, and suitable for the device. Contact a healthcare professional before use if you have an eye condition, have recently had an eye procedure, or have unusual light sensitivity or symptoms that begin during treatment. Stop the session if you develop eye pain, persistent afterimages, 시야가 흐려짐, or a new headache.
Eye protection is part of the protocol, not an optional accessory. A reputable bed should provide clear instructions about whether shields or goggles are required, how they should be worn, and which body positions are allowed.
