Photobiomodulation in Ophthalmology: A Comprehensive Review of Bench-to-Bedside Research and Clinical Integration. Garg et al, 2024

Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as low-level laser therapy, is an emerging therapeutic modality in ophthalmology for its potential to manage a variety of ocular conditions. PBM employs low-energy light within the red and near-infrared spectrum. This interaction is believed to enhance mitochondrial function, boost adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, and reduce oxidative stress, leading to improved cellular repair and tissue regeneration.

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Multi-Wavelength LED Irradiation Attenuates Dry Eye Symptoms, Goo et al, 2023

Red LED light with a wavelength of 600–700 nm enhances the immune response and cell proliferation, and NIR LED light with a wavelength 800 nm exerts anti-inflammatory effects. Several studies reported that PBM effectively improved the tear breakup time and tear volume and reduced the inflammatory response.
