Light therapies for myopia control .
Light therapies for myopia control are a relatively new addition to science and practice. The most well-known, with the widest evidence-base, is repeated low-level red light (RLRL) therapy (650nm). This has mounting evidence for slowing myopia onset and progression in children, including those with high myopia and fast observed progression in orthokeratology wear.
New light therapies on the horizon include use of cyan light-emitting glasses (507nm), bright (white) light desktop devices, and a pre-commercial VR-like headset delivering targeted light to the optic nerve. Keep up to date with the latest on light therapies here!

Myopia management products
Myopia management products listed by Myopia Profile have been specifically designed for myopia control or myopia management in children, and have some form of regulatory approval or marking for this form of use. They also have randomized controlled trial research data supporting their efficacy, unless otherwise noted. It is up to the individual eye care practitioner to be aware of regulatory requirements for prescribing in their country of practice, and also be aware that not all products are available in all countries.Enormous thanks to our visionary sponsors
