Frequently Asked Questions

The goal of myopia management is to control or stabilise its progression. Younger children may need myopia management for a longer time, and teenagers may require it for a shorter time. Your eye care professional will be able to work with you and your child to determine whether your child requires the full duration of 2 years, and next steps following 2 years if further treatment is required.

We recommend keeping compliant to our 3-2-5 protocol as much as possible -- 3 minutes, 2 times a day, 5 days per week. Studies have shown that higher treatment compliance results in higher efficacy.

No, your child can use the device at any time during the day and on any 5 days during the week. However, there must be at least a 4-hour interval between two sessions on the same day. We recommend using the device from Monday to Friday and taking the weekends off.

The commonest side effect observed is afterimage, where the child can still see the red light after treatment. This typically disappears within a few minutes, and we recommend the child close their eyes during this time. If the afterimage lasts longer than 5 minutes, please seek advice from your eye care professional.

Yes, your child needs to wear glasses to get corrected vision during the day.

Yes, RLRL can be used in conjunction with orthokeratology lenses, soft contact lenses (e.g. MiSight) and specially designed glasses (e.g. Miyosmart). However, RLRL cannot be used in conjunction with atropine. Children on atropine must stop for 2 weeks prior to commencing RLRL therapy.

We understand that it may be difficult to bring the device with you on holiday. If your child misses a few days of treatment, this should not cause any issues. However, we do recommend bringing the device with you if possible, especially for longer trips.
