Red-Light Therapy's effect on eye cells under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07160036
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special eye scanner (AO-SLO) can reliably measure cone cells in the retina. It also compares people who have used repeated low-level red-light therapy for myopia with those who haven't. The goal is to see if the therapy changes cone cell density. 180 participants aged 6 to 55 will be enrolled.
