However, its long-term effects on retinal photoreceptors remain relatively unknown.ObjectiveTo evaluate changes associated with RLRL therapy on cone photoreceptor density in children with myopia using high-resolution adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis retrospective multicenter cohort study analyzed data collected from January to March 2024, focusing on Chinese children with myopia. All participants were recruited through questionnaires. Cone density measurements were obtained from AOSLO retinal images. Children with myopia aged 5 to 14 years recruited from the pediatric ophthalmology clinic during routine eye examinations were included in the study and assigned to the RLRL group or the control group. Inclusion criteria were spherical equivalent refraction below −6.00 diopters (D) and best-corrected visual acuity ≥20/20.ExposuresCone density measurement with AOSLO retinal images.Main Outcomes and MeasuresCone photoreceptor density was measured along 4 retinal meridians from central fovea to 4° eccentricity on AOSLO. Fundus abnormalities were assessed using AOSLO, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fundus photography. Image evaluators were masked to group allocation.ResultsA total of 99 children with myopia were included in this analysis: 52 (97 eyes; mean [SD] age, 10.3 [1.9] years; 27 female [51.9%]) in the RLRL group and 47 (74 eyes; mean [SD] age, 9.8 [2.1] years; 25 male [53.2%]) in the control group. RLRL users showed decreased cone density within 0.5-mm eccentricity from the foveal center, most notably in the temporal region. At 0.3-mm temporal eccentricity, the RLRL group showed a mean difference of −2.1 × 10<jats:sup>3</jats:sup> cells/mm<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> compared with controls (95% CI, −3.68 to −0.59 × 10<jats:sup>3</jats:sup> cells/mm<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .003). A total of 11 eyes exhibited abnormal low-frequency, high-brightness signals near the fovea. The odds ratio of abnormal signals in RLRL users compared with nonusers was 7.23 (95% CI, 1.15-303.45; Fisher exact test, <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> = .02). One participant had relatively small cystoid abnormalities on OCT in the ganglion cell layer, which resolved 3 months after discontinuing RLRL therapy.Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this cohort study suggest that RLRL therapy for at least 1 year was associated with reduced cone density in the paracentral fovea and other subtle retinal abnormalities in some children receiving this therapy for myopia control. These findings support the need for further research to evaluate longer-term safety of RLRL therapy in similar individuals.","PeriodicalId":14518,"journal":{"name":"JAMA ophthalmology","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143866771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Synthetic datasets were produced using the default GPT-4o model and a custom GPT. Data fabrication was conducted in November 2024.ExposurePrompts were submitted to GPT-4o to produce 12 “unrefined” datasets, which underwent forensic examination. Based on the outcomes of this analysis, the custom GPT Synthetic Data Creator was built with detailed instructions to generate 12 “refined” datasets designed to evade authenticity checks.
