Summary of Research:

Blue light exposure has been shown to reduce near-sightedness in people by increasing dopamine levels and slowing the lengthening of the eye. Dopamine has also been shown to increase the eye's responses to flashes of light. In my study, we test short-term exposure to blue and red light to see if there are differences in the responses of eyes that are and are not near-sighted.
