Do You Need Eye Protection for Red Light Therapy?

You should wear the eye protection a device comes with or that the manufacturer recommends, and follow their guidance — this is the safest answer. Red light LED panels are bright, and even if a particular device is described as safe to use without goggles, staring directly into bright LEDs is uncomfortable and not something to do regardless.

Practically: many people simply keep their eyes closed during facial sessions, and many devices include goggles. If you wear them, use them. The brightness is the main consideration for comfort, and individual sensitivity varies. If you have any eye conditions or concerns, ask your doctor or eye care professional before use. We're sticking to general safety habits here rather than medical advice. More in red light therapy at home explained.
