This is a narrative review that identifies and evaluates the wearable light meters and research methods used in human studies exploring the association between light exposure and myopia. The central finding is that there is high variability between the devices and methodological approaches across the reviewed publications, which complicates the synthesis of results and the identification of consistent patterns.
This narrative review identified ten wearable light meter devices used in human studies on the light-myopia association and 20 publications reporting on this association. The authors systematically reviewed the publications for general characteristics, data acquisition methods, participant populations, and data analysis and interpretation approaches. The authors conclude that the wide methodological variability may contribute to the inconsistencies in reported results and that more research is needed to standardize and improve the investigation of this association.
