NCT ID NCT07554911

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

Summary

This study tests a new AI algorithm that screens for severe dry eye disease by analyzing images of the cornea. Researchers will enroll 200 adults already diagnosed with dry eye to see if the AI can better identify cases needing specialist care compared to a standard symptom questionnaire. The goal is to help community doctors manage dry eye more confidently and refer only the most severe cases.
