Chromatic Light Therapy for Inhibiting Myopia Progression: Human Studies
Barbara Swiatczak
Abstract:Myopia, a common refractive error, has been associated with various risk factors, with outdoor time emerging as a significant protective factor against its onset. This association is believed to be mediated by the influence of sunlight on dopamine release, a neurotransmitter crucial for regulating eye growth. Recent research explores the specific properties of light to identify potential interventions for myopia control in children. Low-level red light therapy has gained attention, showing promise in inhibitin… Show more
