Red-light therapy and eye cell imaging study
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if different low-intensity red light devices, used at different frequencies, can help control myopia in young adults aged 18 to 35.
This study tests if a special red light device can help adults with very high nearsightedness. You would use the device at home as part of the trial, and researchers will check if it slows vision changes.
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.
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.
