Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether a portable device called the AdaptDx Pro gives the same measurements as the standard tabletop AdaptDx. Both devices measure rod intercept time, which is how long the eye's rod cells take to recover after a bright flash. The study enrolls healthy adults aged 22 to 49 with normal vision. If the two devices agree, the portable version could offer a more convenient way to assess dark adaptation.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Two versions of a dark adaptation diagnostic device: the AdaptDx tabletop and the AdaptDx Pro
What this could lead to
If the portable AdaptDx Pro matches the tabletop device, it could make dark adaptation testing easier and more accessible for detecting early eye disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small study in healthy adults, so results may not apply to people with eye conditions. The two devices might not agree closely enough.
