About this study
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of different intensity of repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy on the choroidal and retinal blood flow among adults.
Read the detailed description
Repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy is an emerging innovative and non-invasive treatment for a variety of eye diseases. Notably, RLRL was found to be effective in thickening choroidal thickness in a 1-year randomized controlled trial, indicating its potential in modulating blood flow in the fundus. However, it remains unclear how long it takes for the RLRL to make a difference in fundus blood flow and whether there is a dose-response.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the different wavelengths of of repeated low level light therapy on the choroidal and retinal blood flow among adults. This study will be conducted with a randomized cross-over design with a total follow-up of 3 months. The repeated low level light therapy will be carried out in the study site under supervision according to a standard protocol. Detailed ophthalmic examinations, including visual acuity, intraocular pressure, optical coherence tomography/angiography, optical coherence tomography angiography, cycloplegic spherical equivalent refraction, slit lamp, and biological parameters will be evaluated at enrollment and during follow-ups.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
1. Changes of macular choroidal thickness
Changes in the macular choroidal thickness are characterized as the difference following 1 month with RLRL therapy relative to the baseline which is measured by optical coherence tomography
Measured: 1 month
Secondary outcomes (3)
Changes in OCTA-derived parameters of choriocapillaris
Changes in the choriocapillaris microvasculature are characterized as the difference following 1 month with RLRL therapy relative to the baseline which is measured by optical coherence tomography angiography
Measured: 1 month
Changes in OCTA-derived parameters of retina
Changes in retinal microvasculature are characterized as the difference following 1 month with RLRL therapy relative to the baseline which is measured by optical coherence tomography angiography
Measured: 1 month
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events is the rate of treatment-emergent adverse events over a specified period for subjects in the intervention arm. Subjects are asked to report any treatment-emergent adverse events, including but not limited to glare, flash blindness, and afterimages
Measured: 1 month
