Activity Outline

The growing epidemic of myopia and, with it, the prevalence of high myopia1,2 (defined as greater than -6D or 26 mm in axial length3) has prepared us to expect the presentation of young children with high levels of myopia in our practice. However, as Dr Loren Rose writes, this group includes a small but very important subset of patients: those with syndromic myopia.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the latest evidence behind repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy for myopia control,
  • Be able to identify patients that would be appropriate to start RLRL, and
  • Know how to monitor and follow up patients on RLRL
