Purpose: Establishing the safety profile of repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy is necessary prior to its widespread clinical implementation.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, CRD42024516676) of articles across seven databases from inception through February 10, 2024, with keywords related to myopia and RLRL therapy. Pooled safety outcomes and risk-to-benefit ratios were reported, and incidence of side effects was compared with other antimyopia interventions.

A rotating stimulus of alternating red and white sectors generates a faint pink fill throughout the image. The trailing cyan after images of the red sectors quickly become the brightest regions in the image, providing an index of the overall illumination that triggers a shift of the white point. Actual white areas then shift in the opposite direction and appear pink.

Article Synopsis
- Visual snow is a visual perception disorder characterized by constant flickering or "TV-like" noise in the visual field and is often accompanied by symptoms like light sensitivity and afterimages, making diagnosis challenging due to misconceptions with migraine aura.* -
- A study involving 66 German patients with Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) found that common symptoms included photophobia (67%) and afterimages (65%), with over half experiencing migraines and nearly half showing signs of anxiety or depression.* -
- The findings suggest that the characteristics of this German cohort align with international cases, highlighting the need for awareness to reduce the risk of psychosomatic stigma linked to the psychological aspects of the disorder.*
Axial Shortening Effects of Repeated Low-level Red-light Therapy in Children With High Myopia: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective and safe the RLRL treatment is in slowing the progression of high myopia in children aged 7 to 12 years with significant nearsightedness (≥ -6.00 D).
- Conducted as a multicenter, randomized, and single-blind clinical trial, 202 children were divided into two groups: one receiving RLRL treatment plus standard spectacles, and the other receiving only standard spectacles over a 12-month period.
- Results showed that the group receiving RLRL experienced a reduction in both axial length and spherical equivalent refraction, indicating less progression of myopia compared to the control group, along with some positive changes in choroidal and retinal thickness.
