LED Red Light in Modulating Choroidal Microcirculation to Retard Retinal Atrophy in Pathological Myopia
A Randomized Controlled Trial of LED Red Light in Modulating Choroidal Microcirculation to Retard Retinal Atrophy in Pathological Myopia
Shanghai Eye Disease Prevention and Treatment Center
158 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if LED repeated low-level red light (RLRL) therapy works to treat pathologic myopia in adults. It will also learn about the safety of LED-RLRL. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does LED-RLRL modulate choroidal microcirculation to retard retinal atrophy in pathological myopia? What medical problems do participants have when receiving LED-RLRL therapy? Researchers will compare with a sham device (identical in appearance but delivering \<10% of the original device's energy output) to see if LED-RLRL works to treat pathologic myopia. Participants will: Take LED-RLRL or sham LED-RLRL twice daily, 3 minutes per session, 5 days per week, for a total duration of 12 months. Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests. Keep a diary of their symptoms and their visual perception.

Interventions
An LED-RLRL device (Airdoc PBM-LED, Model No.: AI-PBM01, Beijing Airdoc Technology Co., Ltd.) was adopted. It has a working wavelength of 650 nm, with an output power of 1.39 mW at the light source, and the output power is 1.39 mW ± 0.1 mW at a position 30 mm away from the observation window glass. Twice daily, 3 minutes per session, 5 days per week, for a total duration of 12 months.
A sham LED-RLRL device (identical in appearance but delivering \<10% of the original device's energy output) . Twice daily, 3 minutes per session, 5 days per week, for a total duration of 12 months.
