Myopia, also called nearsightedness, is becoming more common in children. Kids with myopia can see things up close clearly, but objects far away may look blurry. This can make it harder to see the board at school, read signs across the street, or enjoy sports and outdoor activities.

For many children, myopia continues to worsen as they grow. Each year, their prescription may become stronger. At Commerce Family Eyecare, we focus on myopia management, which means slowing down how quickly myopia progresses.

One of the advanced options we offer is ArunaLight Treatment, which uses low-level red light therapy to help support healthy eye development and manage myopia progression.

What Is ArunaLight Low-Level Red Light Therapy?

ArunaLight is a modern treatment that uses low-level red light to help manage myopia in children. The therapy delivers a specific wavelength of red light to the eyes for a short period of time using a specialized device.

This light gently stimulates the eye and helps influence the way the eye grows. Myopia develops when the eye becomes too long from front to back. When this happens, light entering the eye focuses in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This causes distant objects to appear blurry.

Low-level red light therapy helps support the natural processes that control eye growth. By helping regulate this growth, the treatment may slow down the progression of myopia over time.

The treatment is noninvasive and does not involve surgery or medication.

Why Managing Myopia Early Is Important

Many parents assume that stronger glasses each year are simply part of growing up. However, myopia is more than just needing new prescriptions.

When myopia becomes more severe, it can increase the risk of certain eye health problems later in life. Higher levels of myopia are linked to conditions such as:

Retinal detachment
Glaucoma
Myopic macular degeneration
Early cataracts

By slowing myopia progression during childhood, we can help reduce the risk of these complications in adulthood and later in the senior years. Early treatment can make a meaningful difference in protecting your child’s long-term eye health.

What Research Shows About Red Light Therapy

Recent research has shown promising results for low level red light therapy as a treatment for myopia control in children. Studies that compared several myopia management methods found that red light therapy can significantly slow both prescription changes and eye growth.

These findings suggest that this technology can be a valuable tool in managing myopia progression. When used as part of a comprehensive care plan, red light therapy may help children maintain healthier vision as they grow.

Your doctor at Commerce Family Eyecare will determine whether ArunaLight therapy is appropriate based on your child’s age, prescription level, and overall eye health.

What to Expect During ArunaLight Treatment

ArunaLight therapy is designed to be simple and comfortable for children.

During treatment, your child will look into a small device that delivers low-level red light to the eyes. The light is gentle, and the sessions are short. Most children find the treatment easy and comfortable.

Treatment is typically performed on a regular schedule as recommended by your doctor. Your child will also continue to have routine eye exams so we can monitor their vision and track how well the treatment is working.

Because every child’s vision is different, your doctor will create a plan that fits your child’s specific needs.
