Systematic review reveals that red-light therapy reduces axial length in myopic children, indicating potential over conventional treatments.

Axial length progression was significantly lower in the RLRL group compared to the control group, suggesting improved myopia control.
The weighted mean difference for axial length was -0.24 mm (95% CI [-0.33, -0.14]), highlighting the therapy's effectiveness.
Randomized controlled trials and cohort studies revealed 691 pediatric participants with no serious adverse events reported.
RLRL therapy showed a greater reduction in axial length compared to both monotherapy and standard treatments, pointing to its promising clinical application.

Liu et al. (2025) studied this question.
