Upregulation of the expression of early growth response protein 1, a myopia-protective gene, is also one of the mechanisms by which violet light prevents myopia.[69] A retrospective clinical trial conducted by Torii et al[70] demonstrated that, compared to individuals in the control group, individuals with high myopia who underwent implantation of phakic intraocular lenses with VL-transmitting capabilities showed a significant reduction in the progression of refractive error and axial length after 5 years. Here, EGR1 is linked to myopia.
