Melbourne Australia, 31 January 2024:
Eyerising International, the Australian company, which is the legal manufacturer of the Eyerising Myopia Management Device, a repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) device, maintain that their device was misrepresented in an article recently published in the Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics (OPO) Journal, titled, “Red light instruments for myopia exceed safety limits”, authored by Lisa A. Ostrin and Alexander W. Schill.
The authors of the OPO article several times referred to the Eyerising Myopia Management Device in a negative and inaccurate manner; despite having not tested the device or contacted Eyerising International for information or comment.
