Japan's latest research that purple light can inhibit myopia

A new study in Japan that purple light can inhibit myopia, taking into account the usually indoor lack of purple light, the discovery or help to develop new methods of prevention and treatment of myopia.

 

Japan's Keio University and other institutions researchers in the new international academic journal "EBioMedicine" reported that the global population is increasing myopia, some studies have pointed out that the outdoor environment helps to inhibit myopia, but the specific mechanism of action is unclear. Researchers at the School of Medicine have noted that violet light with wavelengths between 360 and 400 nanometers is adequate in the outdoor environment, but rarely in the interior.

 

Researchers using chicks for animal experiments found that chicks with myopia if living in purple light environment, the body inhibit the expression of myopia EGR1 gene expression will increase the length of the small axis of the chicken smaller, that myopia symptoms control.

 

In addition, in clinical studies, the researchers compared the situation of people wearing different glasses and found that the use of can not through the purple light contact lenses and ordinary people who use, through the use of contact lenses, purple light myopia .

 

The researchers said that because the daily use of lighting equipment, the lack of purple light, purple light is usually not through ordinary glasses and glass and other items, so people living in modern society, the lack of purple light environment, which may be related to increased global population of myopia. The discovery will help invent new methods of prevention and treatment of myopia, control the growth of the global myopia population.
