Red light therapy for slowing vision loss in severe nearsightedness
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests if daily low-level red light can protect the back of the eye in people with severe nearsightedness. It aims to slow damage that leads to vision loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 55 years old.
- You have severe nearsightedness (at least -6.00 diopters and long eyeball length).
- Your vision is not worse than 20/200 (can read large letters on an eye chart).
- You have specific types of scarring or thinning at the back of the eye, or your vision is between 20/50 and 20/200.
- You do not have other eye diseases like active bleeding, diabetes in the eye, or glaucoma.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
