Cone Density Changes After Repeated Low-Level Red Light Treatment in Children With Myopia.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Repeated low-level red light (RLRL) therapy has emerged as a potential intervention for controlling myopia progression in children. However, its long-term effects on retinal photoreceptors remain relatively unknown.

Objective

To evaluate changes associated with RLRL therapy on cone photoreceptor density in children with myopia using high-resolution adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO).

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective multicenter cohort study analyzed data collected from January to March 2024, focusing on Chinese children with myopia. All participants were recruited through questionnaires. Cone density measurements were obtained from AOSLO retinal images. Children with myopia aged 5 to 14 years recruited from the pediatr
