| 본문 : SIGNIFICANCE: Skin photobiomodulation involves the use of low doses of light of a specific wavelength to reduce skin inflammation and promote tissue repair. Recently, a face mask using a light-emitting diode (LED) to induce photobiomodulation has been widely introduced in the market. However, a short wavelength of high-energy blue light can cause retinal damage.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe a case of photochemical retinopathy after using a blue LED face mask.
CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old woman presented with complaints of distorted vision. The patient was exposed to blue light from an LED face mask 1 months before presentation. Color fundus photography revealed a yellowish chorioretinal lesion and optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed choroidal neovascularization with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) destruction in the parafoveal area. The patient was diagnosed with blue LED-induced photochemical retinopathy, and intravitreal bevacizumab was injected. After 4 weeks, dysmorphopsia were improved.
CONCLUSIONS: This case report demonstrates the retinal damage can occur in humans due to prolonged exposure to blue light. Therefore, it is important to be wary of eye exposure and ensure the eyes are covered during LED face mask use.
