Abstract
Purpose
To evaluate the efficacy of repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy combined with optical lenses in children and adolescents with myopia.
Methods
This retrospective study included 108 children and adolescents. Based on the difference in the combination intervention scheme participants were divided into four groups based on the intervention they received: the RLRL+orthokeratology (OK) lens intervention group (RLRL+OK group), the RLRL+defocus distributed multi-point (DDM) lens intervention group (RLRL+DDM group), the RLRL+single-vision spectacles (SVS) intervention group (RLRL+SVS group), and a control group. Visual acuity, spherical equivalent refraction (SER), and axial length (AL) were measured before and after the intervention. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors influencing vision recovery.
Results
The SER and AL at baseline were statistically different (PPPP<0.001).
Conclusion
RLRL therapy combined with optical lenses is effective in controlling myopia progression in children and adolescents.
