Japan's latest research suggests that violet light can inhibit myopia

A new Japanese study, purple light inhibition of myopia, considering the lack of new method was usually indoor, this discovery or contribute to the development of prevention and treatment of myopia.

Researchers at Japan's Keio University Institutions in the new issue of international academic journals, "EBioMedicine", the report said, now the global myopia population continues to increase, some research indicates that the outdoor environment helps to suppress myopia, but the specific mechanism is still not clear. The school of Medicine researchers noticed that the purple light at wavelengths between 360 to 400 nm in the outdoor environment is very full, but in the interior is usually very little.

The researchers used chicks were found in animal experiments, with myopia chicks if living in the purple environment, the expression of suppressor gene EGR1 in myopia will increase, increasing axial length chicks decreased, myopia symptoms under control.

In addition, in the clinical study, the researchers compared the different wear glasses case, found and cannot be used through purple contact lenses and glasses were compared, using suppression can be through purple lenses for myopia symptoms.

The research team said, because of the lack of lighting equipment for daily use of purple, purple is usually not through the glasses and glass and other items, so people in modern society live in lack of purple environment, which may be related to the global population increasing myopia. The findings help to develop new ways to prevent and treat myopia and to control the growth of the global population of myopia.
