According to the article
・A clinical study conducted by a group at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, shining red light on the eyes of children with severe myopia, summarized an interim report stating that there was a slight improvement in myopia in about half of the children after six months.
Myopia is a condition where nearby objects are clear but distant objects appear blurry.
The reason for this is that light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina, causing the retina to not focus properly.
The following are two reasons for not focusing on the retina:
1) The length from the cornea to the retina (the length of the eyeball = axial length of the eye) is long.
2) The refractive power of the cornea or lens is too great.
・A specialized device was used to shine red light on the eyes of 30 children diagnosed with severe myopia aged 8 to 18 for 3 minutes each morning and evening, 5 days a week, to examine changes in axial length of the eye.
・While it is normally considered that the axial length, which does not shorten once it elongates, decreased by 0.05 mm or more in 16 people in the right eye and 18 people in the left eye.
・In the “refraction test” which measures the degree of myopia, about half of the children showed a slight improvement in myopia.

Would it be good to display a faint red object on TV or mobile screens as usual?
Since blue light is said to be bad for the eyes, isn’t it an idea that if red light is good for the eyes!?
I’ve heard that the vision of developers of Virtual Boy software improved a long time ago. Is this the effect of that!?
Hasn’t treatment with red light been done for a long time? When Iwent to the eye doctor for myopia when I was a child, I was made to look at red light for about 30 minutes.
So there’s a possibility of improvement even with axial myopia.
So Virtual Boy is the panacea for myopia?
Virtual Boy’s revival seems imminent.
The next hardware from Nintendo will be Virtual Boy II…
Virtual Boy was right!!!!
Who said that Virtual Boy is bad for the eyes…
Indeed, Virtual Boy…
The era of Virtual Boy…
