Finding the best red light therapy for myopia in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be 8 to 10 years old.
- Child must have low nearsightedness (between -0.50 and -3.00 diopters) with astigmatism less than -2.5 diopters.
- Child must not have used other myopia control treatments like atropine drops, orthokeratology, or multifocal glasses (or can enroll after a 2-week break).
- Child must not have other eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, or retinal problems.
- Child must not have general health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure.

This study tests how well children adapt to special myopia control lenses. It aims to see if these lenses are comfortable and easy to wear for kids with nearsightedness.
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 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 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 trial tests a new device that uses special light to slow down or prevent myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 6 to 18. It compares the device to a fake treatment to see if it works.
This study tests whether low-intensity red light at 650 nm can help children and teens with mild problems focusing their eyes. It is designed to see if the treatment is safe and useful for the right type of refractive error.
