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).
- You are not pregnant, do not wear contact lenses, and haven't had other eye treatments or surgeries recently.

This trial tests a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment for people with meibomian gland dysfunction (a type of dry eye) that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this therapy can safely help your eyes feel better.
This trial tests if using a blink reminder app (BlinkEasy) can help reduce damage to the oil glands in your eyelids that keep eyes moist. It is for people aged 18 to 40 who use screens at least 4 hours a day and have mild to severe dry eye symptoms.
This study tests heated devices to see if they improve dry eye caused by blocked meibomian (eyelid oil) glands. It may help if warm compresses and gentle eyelid massage didn’t work for 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 study tests whether a special eyelid massage technique using a support plate can help unblock and improve meibomian glands—small glands in your eyelids that produce tear oil. If your glands are blocked or not working well, it may be causing your dry eyes, and this treatment might help.
