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 trial tests whether special glasses lenses can slow down worsening nearsightedness (myopia) in children and teens aged 6-14. The goal is to see if these lenses help keep vision from getting worse over a year.
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 different doses of red light therapy to slow down myopia (nearsightedness) in children. Red light therapy uses low-level red light to help control eye growth and reduce the need for stronger glasses.
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.
