Can a handheld eye test replace a lab machine?
NCT ID NCT07803588
First seen Sep 03, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
