Happy to see this research. Some old studies showed that Asian children who moved to Australia had a lower incidence of myopia. Perhaps due to more time spent outdoors:

> The time of day of any potential violet-light therapy for myopia also could matter.

Before anyone rushes to change desktop backgrounds, any effect might involve actual "violet" wavelengths of light (380nm) [0] as opposed to mix of typical LED-reds and LED-blues that are visually similar. Plus then you have a new risk, with blue light at night affects circadian rhythms.

I suppose one could create their own light-emitting source, but I'd be afraid of accidentally scorching my retinas with strong invisible UV.

I wonder how many of the eyestrain glasses coatings that block blue light also reduce violet?
