New research suggests that purple light inhibits myopia

 

According to Xinhua News Agency, a new study in Japan believes that

 

Purple light inhibits myopia, considering that there is usually a lack of purple light in the room,

 

This finding may help develop new ways to prevent and treat myopia.

 

Researchers at the Faculty of Medicine at Keio University in Japan noted that

 

Violet light with wavelengths between 360 and 400 nanometers is abundant in outdoor environments

 

And indoors are usually rare.

 

Researchers used chicks in animal experiments and found that if chicks with myopia lived in a purple light environment,

 

The expression of EGR1, the gene that inhibits myopia in the body, will be enhanced, and the increase in the length of the chick axis will be smaller.

 

That is, the symptoms of myopia are controlled.

 

In addition, in clinical studies, researchers compared people who wore different glasses,

 

Found compared to people who use contact lenses and regular glasses that cannot transmit purple light

 

People who use contact lenses that transmit purple light have their myopia symptoms suppressed.

 

The research team said that this discovery could help invent new ways to prevent and treat myopia.

 

Control the growth of the global myopia population.
