Red light therapy shows promise for slowing Kids' nearsightedness
NCT ID NCT07375589
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a low-intensity red light device could slow the worsening of nearsightedness (myopia) in children aged 8 to 12. Forty children participated, with some using the red light treatment for 3 months while others did not. The main goal was to see if the treatment reduced the lengthening of the eye, which is what causes myopia to get worse.
