An easy fix. Look at the recent research on red light and macular degeneration.
Basically, a little red light exposure on your closed eye lids, 2-3 minutes everyday should arrest and reverse the course of macular degeneration pretty quickly.

What do you think of vit A toxicity (including lutein and zeaxanthin) ?

Giving up on coffee also may help...
Average lightbulbs probably won't do much. Red grow lights will produce a lot more red light than average bulbs, and some of the machines that Life Giving Store and Red Light Man have throw a lot more.
I think being outside when the sun is bright is also helpful. My guess is you don't work or spend a few hours outdoors most days, right?
Germany. And yeah it’s official. Let me know in some months if it helped you pls!

I wouldn't use those for macular degeneration. Too much heat, and I think too bright in general. If you get an all red grow light, you could use that directly on the eyes. More beneficial light, less overall brightness. You could probably stare directly at a red grow light without issue, but I think it would be safer to close your eyes. The red will still pass through your eyelid easily, and your eyes wouldn't be overstimulated.
Plus, any money saved on the bulb will go right out the window with your first electric bill. Those things suck up a lot of power.
so what light would you reccomend for a room for all day use, if not the incandescent?Second that, these red lights put out heat, which can be harmful to the retina (or other sensitive tissues like the gonads).
The specialized red light therapy devices with 670nm do not emit (much if any) heat. They're ideal for this type of treatment.
And yeah, those incandescent bulbs are super energy intensive. It's the main reason why I use them intermittently, just a few minutes at a time. I was shocked when I received my first electricity bill after getting one of those.

Incandescent is best, I have one on right now. It's just that it's too expensive to leave on all day in my opinion. (the 250W that is).
It's ideal though. In a perfect world, I would have two or three of these 250W bulbs on all day. I don't know how expensive that would be.
Ray has said that intermittent exposure to bright light is almost as good as continual exposure.
I use regular bulbs (60W) from normal work and I turn on the big 250W bulb a couple times a day for 30 minute stretches.
I supplement with red light therapy as well, with short 30sec-1min sessions throughout the day.
Going outside, even in winter, is the best exposure to bright light possible. Even a cloudy day is 100x brighter than any indoor environment.
what would be your opinion of closing eyes and staring into the sun?better or worse than staring into red light only?Incandescent is best, I have one on right now. It's just that it's too expensive to leave on all day in my opinion. (the 250W that is).

I have heard that C60 helped vision in a youTube video. I have completely stopped PUFA and am full Ray Peat inspired diet. Only saturated fat. I've been taking C60 in refined coconut oil for about 3 years and after a year or so my vision seemed to improve (colors seemed to be more saturated) but that is hard to evaluate with no objective measurements. About 6 months ago had an eye exam with a retinal scan. My right eye was normal and my left eye showed a small amount of thinning of the macula. I have kept taking C60, and now that I have a measurement, I will schedule a repeat exam in about 3 months to see if there are any changes. My hope is my left eye will improve and the right eye stay the same.Anybody has / had this? Could you give me advice what helps? I don’t want to end up blind on this eye.
That's fair. If its too bright you can move it further away and or use it with eyes closed. I tend to like the heat.I wouldn't use those for macular degeneration.
