Light Exposure and Eye Growth in Childhood [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2015 The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between objectively measured ambient light exposure and longitudinal changes in axial eye growth in childhood.A total of 101 children (41 myopes and 60 nonmyopes), 10 to 15 years of age participated in this prospective longitudinal observational study.

Dim Light Exposure and Myopia in Children
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2018 Experimental myopia in animal models suggests that bright light can influence refractive error and prevent myopia. Additionally, animal research indicates activation of rod pathways and circadian rhythms may influence eye growth. In children, objective measures of personal light exposure, recorded by wearable light sensors, have been used to examine ...
