Red light therapy for short-term eye changes
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests if red light therapy can cause short-term changes in the back of the eye (the choroid and retina) in people with mild to moderate nearsightedness (myopia). It may help researchers understand if this therapy could be used to slow down or improve nearsightedness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have mild to moderate nearsightedness (between -1.00 and -6.00 diopters) in both eyes.
- Your vision can be corrected to 20/20 or better with glasses or contacts.
- You do not have any other eye conditions like lazy eye (strabismus) or eye coordination problems.
- You have no serious medical conditions (like heart or hormone problems) that might affect the study.
- You have not had red light therapy in the past 6 months.

This study tests whether a special red-light device can safely slow or stop nearsightedness from getting worse in adults. You'll use the light at home for a few minutes each day, and the team will check your vision over time.
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 study tests how well a special imaging device (AO-SLO) can measure cells in the back of the eye, and how these cells change in people who use repeated low-level red-light therapy for myopia (nearsightedness). It may help researchers understand if this therapy is safe and effective for controlling myopia.
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.
This study looks at what happens to children's nearsightedness after they stop using a special red light therapy for one year. It will help doctors understand if stopping the treatment causes a sudden worsening of myopia.
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.
