FAQ
Vision, circadian timing, daily habits, and red light gear — answered.
Vision
Symptoms & expectations
I already wear glasses or contact lenses. Can I still use this framework?
Yes — keep wearing your correction. RetinaReset works in the background on tissue metabolism and micro-circulation. It won't replace your prescription overnight, but it supports the repair cycle your eyes run every night.
My close-up vision (reading/screens) is getting worse. Will this help?
Often yes. Long near-focus locks the ciliary muscle and restricts blood flow; sugar spikes can glycate proteins inside the eye. Eye Fasting releases that lock; 670 nm red light fuels mitochondrial cleanup between sessions.
What if my distance vision or night vision is poor?
Halos, flat colors, and low-contrast night driving can mean repair isn't keeping pace with daytime stress. Rhodopsin (your low-light pigment) rebuilds overnight — anthocyanins from berries supply building blocks; circadian anchors maximize retinal melatonin as an antioxidant shield.
Light & rhythm
Anchors & timing
The morning sky is too bright and my eyes water. What can I do?
Normal reflex when jumping from a dark room to bright sky. You don't need the brightest patch of horizon. Turn 45–90° from the sun, stand in shade, or gaze at grass and foliage — scattered outdoor light still dwarfs any indoor bulb.
I missed the first 30 minutes after waking but stayed in bed without bright light.
Dark room, no phone? Your clock hasn't started — the window begins when you get up or turn on lights. Scrolled in bed? Blue light already set "daytime." Either way: do your Morning Anchor outdoors as soon as you can, then continue tracking normally.
I am traveling across time zones. How do I adjust?
Anchor to local morning light first — 10–15 minutes outside after landing. No red panel? Rely on blinking drills, 6 m eye-fasting breaks, and your evening cool-water reset.
Your day
Missed steps & habits
I forgot an exercise or missed a step. Should I double up tomorrow?
No doubling up. Eyes run on a 24-hour rhythm — extra red light or drills add strain and slow repair. Pick up the next milestone at normal dose.
Red light
Devices & safety
Where can I buy a red light device that meets protocol requirements?
Pick third-party tested photobiomodulation gear — not generic beauty lamps. Spec sheet must show 630–680 nm with a peak near 670 nm. Small facial panels or wands beat high-heat full-body units for eye work.
How can I test my red light at home for safety?
Wavelength needs a lab spectrometer — buy from brands that publish reports. Before each use near your eyes, run these three quick tests:
- Flicker: Slow-mo video on your phone. Strobing or rolling bands = cheap driver. Don't use it on your eyes.
- Heat: At protocol distance: zero warmth on skin or lids. Feel heat? Move back — it stresses the cornea.
- Comfort: No glare, squinting, or headache afterward. Stick to the timed doses in this app.
