Infrared saunas do not directly affect the eyes. The infrared light used in saunas is safe and does not emit harmful radiation. However, if you have any other concerns about using an infrared sauna, please consult your healthcare professional.
Is Infrared Light Harmful To Eyes?
Studies have suggested that very high amounts of infrared light may cause damage to the eyes, however, it is highly unlikely in everyday situations. The light would need to be extremely intense and your eyes would need high levels of exposure for damage to occur.
There are three types of infrared light:
- Near-infrared
- Mid-infrared
- Far infrared
Our infrared saunas use far infrared light to heat the body which is considered to be the safest form of infrared light. On average, most people use their infrared saunas three times a week for 15-20 minutes. This level of exposure to infrared light is not considered harmful and eye damage is extremely unlikely.
We do suggest talking to our experts if you do have concerns. We will run through everything with you to ensure you are confident and comfortable using our saunas. They have so many health benefits and our customers love the relaxation they experience from their sauna sessions regularly.
