Myopia is one of the main causes of visual impairment worldwide. Preventing myopia and providing myopia-related interventions are of paramount importance. Based on a thorough review of the available literature, we conclude that red light irradiation can produce hyperopia, resulting in myopia prevention and control. Further, we suggest that red light irradiation may be a powerful tool for myopia prevention and control in the future. At the same time, red light has a protective effect on the cornea and retina at the cellular level, suggesting that red light irradiation may be a safe and effective modality for delaying myopia. Therefore, this form of irradiation is expected to play an important role in the prevention and control of myopia. However, more studies are needed to enhance the current state of knowledge and inform medical guidelines more comprehensively.
近视是全球范围内导致视力损害的主要原因之一。预防近视和提供近视相关干预措施至关重要。通过对现有文献的全面回顾，我们得出结论，红光照射可以产生远视，从而预防和控制近视。此外，我们建议红光照射可能成为未来预防和控制近视的有力工具。同时，红光在细胞水平上对角膜和视网膜具有保护作用，这表明红光照射可能是一种安全有效的延缓近视的方法。因此，这种照射形式有望在近视的预防和控制中发挥重要作用。然而，需要进一步的研究来增强当前的知识状态，并更全面地为医疗指南提供信息。
