NCT ID NCT07614347

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to create an artificial intelligence system that can automatically analyze confocal microscopy images of the cornea to diagnose dry eye disease. Researchers will collect eye scans from 75 adults (healthy and with dry eye) to train and test the AI. The goal is to replace slow, manual image analysis with a fast, objective, and quantitative diagnostic tool.

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 provide a fast, objective, and automated way to diagnose dry eye disease, replacing subjective manual methods.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage, small study (75 participants) focused on developing and testing the AI system, not a treatment trial. The AI may not perform well in real-world settings or on diverse populations.
