NCT ID NCT02317328
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a special camera that takes super-detailed pictures of the back of the eye (the retina). The goal is to see if this technology can find eye diseases earlier than standard methods. Up to 1,000 people aged 12 and older, with or without eye disease, will have their eyes imaged and compared.
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 imaging technique could help doctors detect retinal diseases earlier and monitor them more closely.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate clinical changes, and the technology is still being tested.
