NCT ID NCT07613580

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing whether a smartphone app called Acuvera Capture can record eye test results as accurately as the traditional paper method. Researchers will compare the two methods in 90 adults with different levels of vision, from normal to low vision. The goal is to see if the app reduces errors and makes data collection more reliable for future eye disease studies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that using a smartphone app to record eye test results is more accurate and error-free than paper, potentially improving data quality in future eye disease studies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study (90 people) that does not test any treatment. It only checks if the app matches paper records, so even positive results won't directly lead to a new therapy.
