Sound-Guided gaze: new device aims to sharpen eye imaging for the visually impaired
NCT ID NCT07529041
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device that uses real-time sound feedback to help people with vision loss fix their gaze on a target. Participants hear sounds that guide their eyes back to center when they drift. The goal is to improve the quality of eye imaging by reducing blur from eye movements. The trial includes 22 healthy volunteers and patients with retinal diseases or blindness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
acoustic real-time biofeedback device (eyeFAST)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help patients with vision loss hold their gaze steady, making eye scans faster and more accurate.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early proof-of-concept study with only 22 participants. The device may not improve fixation in real-world clinical settings.
