Violet Light Exposure Can Be a Preventive Strategy Against Myopia Progression

Violet Light Exposure Can Be a Preventive Strategy Against Myopia Progression

Prevalence of myopia is increasing worldwide. Outdoor activity is one of the most important environmental factors for myopia control. Here we show that violet light (VL, 360–400 nm wavelength) suppresses myopia progression. First, we confirmed that VL suppressed the axial length (AL) elongation in t...
