Radiometric and safety assessment of a ‘low‐level red‐light’ myopia control device
The optical design and resulting beam characteristics of this sample red-light myopia control device generate retinal exposure levels that vary with pupil diameter, accommodation and eye movements. Conservative estimates reveal retinal radiant exposures that can exceed ANSI safety limits. The 'low-level' moniker is inappropriate for a device that either exceeds or is just below the ANSI threshold for potential retinal hazard.
