I'm Zhao Xiaodao and I'm an ophthalmologist.
In March 2023, at the first 4L therapy myopia prevention and control training workshop held in Beijing, some unique figures appeared, and some parents also signed up to attend the class. This workshop is for professional ophthalmologists and optometrists, and it costs a lot of money.
One of the parents stood out to me. He is a highly myopic patient, the axial length has reached 29mm-31mm, unfortunately, his daughter is also myopic early, he is very "worried", for his daughter's myopia prevention and control, he has studied my books and videos, "Daigo enlightened a lot of myopia knowledge", but he is not satisfied, he hopes to continue to "further study" through this training, and hopes that the two daughters will not follow in their footsteps.
Recall that at the beginning of 2023, the public's understanding of red light therapy was still relatively limited, and many people mistakenly confused red light with laser, coupled with a traditional red light therapy adverse event in Hunan in September 2022 that was excessively amplified, resulting in a deeper misunderstanding of red light therapy among the public and the industry, and even the emergence of an "anti-red light alliance" composed of people in the opticians industry, abandoning science and practice, and even disrespecting evidence-based medical evidence, extremely double standards, which has become a stumbling block to the progress of the myopia prevention and control industry. In this context, the establishment of the 4L therapy training workshop is particularly important, which is based on a large number of clinical examples, conducts objective and scientific analysis, systematically evaluates the benefits, costs and risks of red light therapy, and provides support and basis for the scientific application and wide promotion of red light therapy.
The father was one of those parents who were affected by the misinformation and wanted to try red light therapy but had many concerns, but instead chose to study further and participate in a systematic course of 4L therapy to decide whether or not to treat his child.
In the seminar, he learned a large number of clinical case summaries and treatment parameter analyses of 4L therapy, and gained a comprehensive and scientific understanding of red light therapy and television haze treatment. He learned about the core parameter that affects the safety of red light therapy, the opposite angle, and realized that red light therapy technology has developed to a new stage of diffuse diffuse transmission delaserization. Based on this knowledge, he began to decide to firmly carry out 4L therapy.
Now that a year has passed, let's see how it goes.
4L myopia prevention and control tracking
The child was 7 years old at the time, with myopia of -75 and -100 degrees in both eyes, and had already experienced the use of defocus glasses. Based on the background of the family history of high myopia and my own situation, my prescription for this child is: red light level 3, light modification, fog screen max and wearing defocus lenses, that is, 4L therapy.
This parent is worthy of being a top student, and before I could explain after the prescription, he offered to "take my daughter to do fundus photography and OCT examination first, and then do OCT and axial measurement every 3 months in the future."
After that, we started the "Revolutionary Friendship for Myopia Prevention and Control" that lasted for a year.
As he promised, he would sync the usage and inspection results with me every 3 months. The parent was polite and said, "I can only rest assured if I read the report", but every time I was worried about delaying my time. In fact, I am happy to see the feedback from children. Even if I work overtime, I'm willing to do it.
July 2023: 3 months of 4L therapy
"The power and the axes of the eyes have receded". The eye axis is measured every month, "the first two months are regressed, and the third month increases slightly", parents also regret, worried that "the red light sweet period is short, and the retraction will stop after only two months".
October 2023: 6 months of 4L therapy
Right eye regression 0.15 mm, left eye regression 0.25 mm.
January 2024: 9 months of 4L therapy
The difference between the comprehensive refraction power and the glasses prescribed a year ago has reached 50 degrees.
April 2024: 1 year of 4L therapy
The eye axis control has reached the excellent line, and the glasses are ready to be re-fitted after dilated eye refraction, and according to the standard of 1.0 after correction, both eyes are flat!
The parents posted the latest optometry report, and also took out the gift I left to his daughter during the book signing session of the seminar last year: "I wish it to be cleared as soon as possible", and a year later, this great wish came true as scheduled, and it was not in vain that he studied hard for a long time.
In order to fully understand their daughter's high myopia risk, parents gave their children genetic testing and PRS risk scores, and the results showed that "the subjects were at high risk of high myopia".
Parents sighed, "It is a cost-effective investment to bring back my daughter's myopia, and it is my most correct decision to come to Beijing to participate in the training class. He said that time is a good friend of 4L therapy, "There are thousands of beneficiaries like my daughter across the country, which proves that low-grade myopia can be reversed, and it is the strongest big data evidence." "The 4L therapy directly targets the root cause of myopia, and as long as the blockade continues, the effect will continue to appear. Originally, the child was likely to develop high myopia, but now, she is looking forward to the future of "mirror-free life" and truly experiencing the benefits of technological advancement.
As an actual beneficiary of 4L therapy, he will get angry when he finds articles that denigrate 4L and sees individual professionals who don't know that they don't exist in the world.
Well, that's all for today's sharing. Life is a relay race, parents work harder, children will benefit more, parents' poor cognition, is the child's poor happiness, poor health, poor grades, but also the child's myopia difference. Like this parent, with his own hard work, he resisted the misleading "myopia prevention and control student" with wrong views, and Aiko can imagine it. Children come to this world to explore and experience with the most beautiful pure heart, and to protect the light in the eyes of the children is to protect the light in the hearts of the children.
