Red light therapy for nearsightedness in young adults
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests different red light devices and how often you use them to treat nearsightedness (myopia). It aims to find the best way to slow down or stop myopia from getting worse in young adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 red light therapy can help slow or improve vision in adults with high or extreme myopia. Participants use a red-light device at home for a period of time, and doctors check if it makes a difference.
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 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 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 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.
