Red vs Blue Light for Dry Eye With Mites
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special light (photobiomodulation) using red or blue light can help people with dry eye that is caused by both blocked oil glands and tiny eyelash mites. You'd receive 3 treatments, and we'd check how your eyes feel for a month after.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have dry eye symptoms (like discomfort, burning, or blurry vision) that bother you most days.
- You have been diagnosed with a condition called meibomian gland dysfunction (blocked oil glands in your eyelids).
- You have a common eyelash mite problem called Demodex (confirmed by a doctor).
- You are at least 18 years old and can commit to 4 visits (3 treatments plus 1 follow-up).

This study tests whether a computer app that reminds you to blink can help reduce dryness and protect the oil glands in your eyelids, which can be damaged by long hours looking at screens. If you use screens a lot and have dry eye symptoms, this might help you.
This study tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye symptoms caused by blocked oil glands (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction). It also looks at how the treatment affects skin pigmentation under the eyes.
This trial tests whether low-level light therapy can improve dry eye disease by measuring changes in tear proteins. It may help people with chronic dry eye who are interested in a non-drug treatment.
This trial tests a special eyelid massage device to see if it helps people with dry eye caused by blocked oil glands in the eyelids. It may improve symptoms and eye comfort.
