Red light therapy for childhood short-sightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a red light treatment to see if it can slow down short-sightedness (myopia) in children. It might help keep their vision from getting worse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is short-sighted with a prescription between -1.00 and -6.00 diopters in both eyes.
- Your child's vision is correctable to at least 20/20 (or better) with glasses or contact lenses.
- Your child does not have any other eye conditions or syndromes that cause short-sightedness.
- Your child has not had any previous or current treatments for short-sightedness, such as special contact lenses or eye drops.
- Your child has not had any eye surgery or has any unusual eye structure that might affect the treatment.

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 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 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 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 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.
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.
