Rebound effects after stopping red light therapy for myopia
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at what happens to children's nearsightedness after they stop using a special red light therapy for one year. It will help doctors understand if stopping the treatment causes a sudden worsening of myopia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 8 and 16 years old
- You have been using the red light therapy for about one year continuously without breaks
- You were diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness) with a certain level of prescription, and your vision was corrected to 20/20 with glasses
- Your guardian has agreed to let you participate
- You have not had any eye surgery or certain eye diseases, and you do not have systemic diseases like diabetes
- After stopping the red light therapy, you are not using other myopia treatments like atropine or special contact lenses

This study is gathering real-world information from children and teens who have been using red light therapy to control nearsightedness, especially when standard treatments have not worked well enough. The goal is to learn more about who benefits most from this treatment.
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.
This trial tests if specific doses of red light can slow down myopia (nearsightedness) progression in children aged 6 to 14. It compares how well different light exposures work over a year.
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 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.
