Peripheral retinal irradiation with low-energy red light can effectively and safely delay the progression of myopia
Peripheral retinal irradiation with low-energy red light can effectively and safely slow axial growth while increasing central choroidal thickness. The follow-up period for the current study is 28 days, and the long-term safety of red light therapy for myopia necessitates further investigation.
