The SILMO Academy by IOA will be taking place 12 April - 14 April in Singapore. Professor Mingguang He will be speaking about Repeated Low Level Light Therapy: An Alternative Myopia Control Strategy.
Professor Mingguang He is the Professor of Ophthalmic Epidemiology at the University of Melbourne.
He undertook his medical training in China and holds a Master of Public Health degree from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and PhD in ophthalmology at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.
Professor He is a global expert in vision-related clinical and epidemiologic research. He has led some important epidemiological studies and clinical trials, including the first population-based study on myopia in China, the first population-based study on glaucoma in China, a clinical trial to prove the efficacy of increased outdoor time on myopia prevention published in JAMA 2015 and a prophylactic clinical trial on angle closure glaucoma published in Lancet 2019. His publications have attracted more than 13K citations.
Repeated low-level red-light therapy has been proposed as a new method to control myopia progression. It is delivered by an at-home desktop device, emitting red light through semiconductor laser diode, under parental supervision. This lecture will present the most up-to-date information on the treatment, evidence on clinical efficacy and safety, as well as possible mechanism of the therapy.
