Red-Light Therapy for Myopia Control?
How does light affect not just our eyes but also the natural rhythms of our bodies? It’s a subject which seems to come up for discussion more and more, particularly as the effect of blue light on sleep patterns becomes better known.

So much so that a 2011 study found that 90% of Americans were exposed to blue light in the hour before bed. [1]
And the problem with that is that blue light disrupts our natural circadian rhythms, being more conducive to waking us up than helping us to settle down for the night.
