Thirteen myopes (-3.73\u2009\u00b1\u20091.21 D) and fifteen emmetropes (-0.05\u2009\u00b1\u20090.11 D), aged of 24.07\u2009\u00b1\u20093.54 years, were exposed to cyan light (507\u00a0nm; total irradiance 3.06\u00a0W\/m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) and broadband light (3.05\u00a0W\/m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) using light-emitting glasses for two hours on separate days. Hyperopic defocus (-3D) was imposed on right eye using contact lenses (CL), while the fellow eye experienced no defocus. Ocular biometry, including axial length (AL) and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), was measured at baseline, after 60 and 120\u00a0min of light exposure, and 30\u00a0min post light offset. Three-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed that the effects of broadband and cyan light on AL (defocus \u00d7 time \u00d7 wavelength interaction, F\n                    <jats:sub>(3,162)<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.37,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.777) and SFCT (F\n                    <jats:sub>(3,162)<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.35,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.787) across all time points did not differ significantly between defocused and non-defocused eyes. However, exposure to cyan light significantly reduced axial elongation (mean difference in AL between cyan and broadband light: \u22120.011\u2009\u00b1\u20090.002\u00a0mm; Holm\u2013Sidak post hoc test,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.001) and increased SFCT (mean difference: +0.009\u2009\u00b1\u20090.002\u00a0mm;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) at 120\u00a0min, compared with eyes exposed to the same degree of hyperopic defocus under broadband light. In non-defocused eyes, cyan light resulted in a significant increase in SFCT compared to broadband light at 120\u00a0min (mean difference, +\u20090.010\u2009\u00b1\u20090.001\u00a0mm,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), while no significant difference was observed in AL.
