Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed the effects of repeated low-level red light therapy on myopic children aged 3 to 17, finding that over 25% experienced significant axial length (AL) shortening, with potential influences from age, gender, and initial eye measurements.
  • Results showed that AL shortening was more common in younger children and those with longer initial AL or higher refractive error, with an average annual AL reduction of about 0.014 mm.
  • The findings suggest that while RLRL therapy might induce AL shortening in some cases, further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind this phenomenon.

Recent study seems to indicate that Red Light Therapy can reverse axial lengthening (myopia) in the human eye. The study was conducted on children (sub 18), so unknown if as effective for adults. Could be a major lead for reversal of nearsightedness https://t.co/gcQiUDXJCM

This is a very big, important, significant news! In my opinion, It should be making headlines. This is why you should question every existing science while also serving as an example of why experiential authority is Supreme in Science. https://t.co/aGXUS4iOSw
