The AtroRed is a validated portable, user-friendly repeated low level red light (RLRL) therapy device tailored for safe use with low-concentration atropine. It aims to enhance the quality of myopia treatment through the improvements in capacity and reliability.This invention discloses the devices, system and methods for treating myopia, particularly in children.
