Light therapy to prevent and control nearsightedness in kids
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests if optimizing daily light exposure can prevent or slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It involves wearing a light-tracking device and spending time in specially lit classrooms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 7 and 10 years old (by January 2025 or 2026).
- Your child is in Primary 2 or 3 at a participating school in 2025 or 2026.
- Your child has good vision (can see at least 6/9 on an eye chart) with or without glasses.
- Your child has no eye problems besides needing glasses (like glaucoma, retinal disease, or serious eye infections).
- Your child is generally healthy and has no serious health conditions (like epilepsy or cancer).
- Your child has not used special myopia-control treatments (like certain eye drops, special contact lenses, or light therapy) before.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of glasses for children with nearsightedness (myopia). One type is designed to slow down myopia progression, and the other is a standard single-vision lens. The goal is to see if the special lenses help reduce how quickly myopia worsens.
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 tests a special lens designed to slow down nearsightedness (myopia) in children. It is for kids who spend at least one hour a day on screens and currently wear regular glasses.
This study tests a new device that uses gentle light, similar to sunlight, to help slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children. It might be an alternative to glasses, contact lenses, or eye drops.
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.
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.
