670nm photobiomodulation as a novel protection against retinopathy of prematurity: evidence from oxygen induced retinopathy models.
<h4>Introduction</h4>To investigate the validity of using 670nm red light as a preventative treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity in two animal models of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR).<h4>Materials and methods</h4>During and post exposure to hyperoxia, C57BL/6J mice or...
