Can red light stop Kids' eyes from getting worse?
NCT ID NCT07208617
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests a red light device that uses LED light to control myopia (nearsightedness) in children aged 6 to 18. About 206 kids will use either the real device or a fake one to see if the red light can slow eye growth and reduce the need for stronger glasses. The study focuses on safety and how well it works over time.
