Near infrared light for the treatment of macular oedema from retinal vein occlusions (NIRVO) is a clinical trial looking at safety and efficacy of a light treatment instead of eye injections which are the usual treatment these days.

The MRG recently published results from a pilot study demonstrating that this near infrared light was effective and safe when treating macular oedema due to diabetic retinopathy (1).
