The 8-module protocol

A science-informed daily rhythm for metabolic eye support — timed to your local day, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

Module 1 Circadian

Morning Circadian Anchor

Outdoor light to the horizon — no sunglasses

Do this in the first 30 min after waking

Module 2 Mitochondrial

Mitochondrial ATP Stimulation

630–680 nm red light therapy (670 nm peak)

Morning or early afternoon

Module 3 Screen hygiene

Deliberate Blinking Drill

20 rapid blinks + 5 slow gentle closures

Every 1–2 hours at screens

Module 3 Screen hygiene

Eye Fasting — Distance Viewing

Focus ≥ 6 m (20 ft) away

Cumulative 10 min/day

Module 4 Circadian

Evening Anchor & Earthing

Barefoot on natural ground, face the sunset horizon

At local sunset

Module 5 Nutrition

Pigment Regeneration

50–80 g organic bilberries or blueberries

Any time during the day

Module 6 Vascular

Micro-Circulation Reset

Cool tap water on closed eyes — 30 to 60 seconds

Evening cleanup or shower

Module 7 Environmental

Post-Sunset Light Mitigation

Amber lighting, no blue LEDs, humidity ~50%

After sunset

Protocol principles

  • No doubling up. Eyes run on a 24-hour rhythm. Miss a step? Resume at normal dose tomorrow — extra red light or drills add strain.
  • Safety first on red light. 630–680 nm, peak near 670 nm. Zero heat, zero flicker, zero squinting at protocol distance. 3–5 minutes max, once daily.
  • Circadian anchors are non-negotiable. Morning outdoor light and evening sunset exposure set the master clock that pre-programs retinal melatonin release 14–16 hours later.
  • Screen breaks are cumulative. Deliberate blinking every 1–2 hours plus 10 minutes total distance viewing (≥ 6 m) per day releases ciliary muscle lock.
Not medical advice. RetinaReset is a lifestyle optimization framework — not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult an ophthalmologist before changing your routine if you have a diagnosed eye condition.
