Albarracin R, Eells J, Valter K Research School of Biology. Purpose. We tested the hypothesis that near-infrared (NIR) light treatment (photobiomodulation) would attenuate bright light damage in the albino rat retina. Methods. Young adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) albino rats were raised in dim (5lx) cyclic light then exposed to bright (1000lx) continuous light for 24h. Animals… Continue reading →

Julio C Rojas, F Gonzalez-Lima University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station A8000, Austin, TX 78712, USA Abstract: Low-level light therapy (LLLT) using red to near-infrared light energy has gained attention in recent years as a new scientific approach with therapeutic applications in ophthal- mology, neurology, and psychiatry. The ongoing therapeutic revolution spearheaded by… Continue reading →
