First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a red-light mask (low-level light therapy) for treating dry eye and meibomian gland disease in 15 children with severe symptoms. It compares the light mask to standard care (warm compresses and artificial tears). The goal is to see if the light mask improves gland function and eye comfort better than traditional treatments alone.
