Narrative review summarizes the efficacy of optical interventions for myopia control, indicating safe options and concerns.

The central aim is to explore effective non-pharmacologic methods for managing childhood myopia and its progression.
Conducted a narrative review summarizing evidence from randomized trials and meta-analyses.
Evaluated the clinical efficacy and safety of orthokeratology, MiSight, and repeated low-level red-light therapy.
Prioritized outcomes related to axial length and spherical equivalent refraction.
Ortho-K reduced axial elongation by 0.19 mm at one year and 0.28 mm at two years compared to controls.
MiSight 1 day showed approximately 0.32 mm less axial elongation over three years.
Red-light therapy demonstrated short-term effects but with low certainty and uncertain long-term safety.
