TLDR: it affect every cells of the body, not just the retina, mitochondria need infrared (just like we need UV for vid-D)
I healed my eczema with red light (infrared heater)
It turn out that infrared is needed by all our cells to get rid of inflammation.
We are in an epidemic of autoimmune diseases partially caused by the lack of infrared.
The spectrum of halogen lights is continuous and closer to what we would get outside. Tungsten bulbs are also continuous but more tilted toward infrared. I think we will have unintended consequence of everyone switching to led lights: the "wasted" infrared are actually useful for our body.
It is wise to assume that almost everything from the natural environment is connected to our biology. As we move further away from it we stack up the health problems self inflicted: crooked teeth, wisdom teeth, miopia, acnee, vid-d deficiency, autoimmune diseases, depression, anxiety, etc.
Search "Medcram infrared" it’s a doctor that explain the science behind it.
