Global Insights on Repeated Low-Level Red-Light Therapy for Myopia

Provider: Mivision

Activity Outline

In recent years, a multitude of journals have published articles on the use of repeated low-level red-light therapy (RLRL) to manage myopia. Dr Kate Gifford, founder of Myopia Profile and guest editor of this issue of mivision, recently interviewed three distinguished experts of  ophthalmology and optometry – Professor Andrzej Grzybowski from Poland, Professor Kyoko Ohno-Matsui from Japan, and Dr Nellie Deen from Australia – to find out about their research and real-world use of RLRL for myopia management in children. Dr Yuri Aung from Eyerising International, manufacturer of the RLRL myopia device, summarises the conversations.

Learning Objectives

  • Better understand the potential role repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy plays in myopia control
  • Be aware of clinical trials underway that are assessing safety and efficacy of RLRL
  • Recognise the patients most likely to benefit from RLRL
