Low-level light therapy for slowing myopia in children
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 6 and 18 years.
- Nearsightedness between -0.50 and -6.00 diopters in both eyes.
- Astigmatism of 2.50 diopters or less.
- Good corrected vision (at least 20/20) in both eyes.
- No prior eye surgery or active eye disease.
- No use of other myopia control methods in the last six months.

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 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 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.
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 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 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.
