Red-light sessions to slow worsening nearsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether repeated low-level red-light therapy can slow how fast nearsightedness (myopia) gets worse in children. It may help protect future eyesight, but your child must meet specific vision and health requirements and follow the study plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- A parent or guardian gives permission and your child gives consent (if required by the study)
- Your child is between 8 and 13 years old when the study starts
- Your child is nearsighted within the study’s range and has limited astigmatism
- One eye’s vision test result must be good enough to qualify (specified logMAR score of 1.0 or better)
- Your child can follow all study visits and treatment instructions (no planned noncompliance)
- You can participate in random assignment to a study group (not everyone gets the same treatment)

This study tests if spending more time outdoors can help slow the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves using special contact lenses and tracking vision changes over one year.
This study tests whether a special red light therapy can help slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children. It compares different amounts of light and how often it is used to find the best way to keep myopia from getting worse.
This trial tests if specific doses of red light can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children aged 6 to 14. It compares how well different light exposures work over a year.
This trial tests a new type of spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. If your child is between 6 and 10 years old, has mild to moderate nearsightedness, and is willing to wear glasses full-time for two years, this study may be a good fit.
This study is gathering real-world information from children and teens who have been using red light therapy to control nearsightedness, especially when standard treatments have not worked well enough. The goal is to learn more about who benefits most from this treatment.
This study tests whether a special red-light device can safely slow or stop nearsightedness from getting worse in adults. You'll use the light at home for a few minutes each day, and the team will check your vision over time.
