Background: To assess the age and timeline distribution of ocular axial length shortening among myopic children treated with photobiomodulation therapy in the real world situations.

Methods: Retrospective study of photobiomodulation therapy in Chinese children aged 4 to 13 years old where axial length measurements were recorded and assessed to determine effectiveness at two age groups (4 ∼ 8 years old group and 9 ∼ 13 years old group). Data was collected from myopic children who received photobiomodulation therapy for 6 ∼ 12 months.

Clinical Relevance: Raising children's myopia prevention awareness and behaviour tends to exhibits a protective effect against myopia among schoolchildren.

Background: To investigate the effect of an original myopia song in raising school children's awareness of healthier eye use behaviour and on myopia prevention.

Methods: In this prospective randomised control study, two groups of students from one primary schools in Jiangxi, China, were enrolled and monitored from grade 3 to grade 6 (2016-2019).

To determine whether photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy can retard ocular axial length (AL) in children with myopia. A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on two consecutive cohorts of 50 eligible children aged 8-12 years with ≤ - 0.75 Diopter (D) of spherical equivalent refraction (SER).

Purpose: To determine the effect of low-intensity, long-wavelength red light therapy (LLRT) on the inhibition of myopia progression in children.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted. One hundred and five myopic children (spherical equivalent refractive error [SER] -3.

Purpose: To investigate the inhibitory effect of bendazol on form-deprivation myopia (FDM) in rabbits as well as the underlying biochemical processes.

Methods: Forty-eight 3-week-old New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to three groups: a control group, a form-deprivation (FD) group and an FD + bendazol group (treated with 1% bendazol in the FD eyes). Refraction, corneal curvature, vitreous chamber depth (VCD) and axial length (AL) were assessed using streak retinoscopy, keratometry, and A-scan ultrasonography, respectively.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether topical pilocarpine affects ocular growth and refractive development as well as the underlying biochemical processes in early eye development in rabbits.

Methods: Twenty three-week-old New Zealand white rabbits were treated with 0.5% pilocarpine in the right eye for 6 weeks.

Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignant tumor in adults, which has a high rate of metastases and can induce vision loss and even death to the patients. To identify suitable prognostic markers of UM for the early detection or prognosis prediction would be an essential step toward successful management of the disease. Herein, we extracted the mRNA expression data along with the clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
