Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

1. Research Objective: The primary objective is to investigate the short-term effects of repetitive low-intensity red light therapy on the fundus of the eyes of underage individuals with myopia.
2. Research Design: This experiment employs a prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled clinical research design.
3. Primary Outcome: Changes in macular sensitivity (microperimetry).
4. Recruitment and Participant Information: The study population consists of individuals aged 7 to 17 years old. It is anticipated that there will be 35 participants in both the control group and the experimental group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. Research Design: This study is an interventional research aimed at investigating the short-term effects of repeated low-intensity red light therapy on the fundus of underage individuals with myopia. Retinal light damage typically occurs in the photoreceptor layer and retinal pigment epithelium. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), OCT, pattern visual evoked potentials (VEP), microperimetry, and multifocal electroretinography (ERG) will be utilized to assess the functionality of the retina, choroid, and optic nerve, thus identifying potential areas of damage. This will provide a scientific basis for further evaluating the safety of low-intensity red light therapy.
2. Participant Recruitment:

(1) Age range: 7 to 17 years old. (2) Spherical equivalent refraction (SER): -1.00D to -5.00D. (3) Astigmatism: ≤ 2.50D. (4) Anisometropia (difference between the two equivalent spherical lenses): ≤ 1.50D.

(5) Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in either eye: ≥ 20/20. (6) Willingness to undergo low-intensity red light treatment. (7) Ability to comprehend the trial's purpose, voluntary participation, and signing of an informed consent form by the subject and their legal guardian.

3.Intervention:Control Group: Daily wear of frame glasses for refractive correction, without any additional treatment for myopia control.Experimental Group: Daily wear of frame glasses for refractive correction, along with low-intensity red light therapy as prescribed by the optometrist.

4.Data Collection: All examinations are conducted by experienced doctors,technicians, and optometrists during objective assessments. Data collection forms are incorporated into the medical records. Specialized research coordinators conduct regular follow-up with all subjects via telephone or WeChat.

5.Ethical Review: The trial protocol was developed before the clinical trial commenced and received approval from the ethics committee.

6.Results and Analysis: Data statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS 26.0 statistical software. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test will be employed for normality distribution testing. Variables following a normal distribution will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean±SD). Between-group comparisons will be conducted using one-way analysis of variance. Paired t-tests will be used for pre- and post-red light exposure data. Non-normally distributed data will be expressed as median (interquartile range) \[M(Q)\] and analyzed using rank-sum tests. A significance level of P \< 0.05 will indicate statistically significant differences.

7.Safety and Side Effects: None. 8.Discussion and Conclusion: None.
