Factors linked to changes in eye length after repeated low-level red light treatment

Updated

Abstract

changes after low-level red-light therapy showed a significant difference over 24 months (F = 16.12, P < 0.001).

  • The amount of axial length change was significant at the 6-month follow-up, with a mean change of △AL = -0.16 ± 0.18.
  • Longer baseline axial length and higher spherical equivalent refractive values were positively correlated with changes in axial length.
  • Children with high myopia experienced greater axial regression compared to those with mild and moderate myopia.
  • Age was positively correlated with changes in axial length.
  • Combination with other myopia prevention and control measures was associated with changes in axial length at multiple follow-up points.
  • Baseline corneal thickness, corneal curvature, and intraocular pressure were not correlated with changes in axial length.
