Could your phone replace a Post-Surgery eye check?
NCT ID NCT06429527
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app (WHOeyes) plus a symptom questionnaire can safely replace the standard in-clinic checkup one week after cataract surgery. About 334 people aged 50–80 with uncomplicated cataracts will either use the app at home or come to the clinic. The goal is to see if remote follow-up is just as safe, more cost-effective, and better for the environment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
WHOeyes app and questionnaire
What this could lead to
If successful, this could allow many cataract patients to skip a routine in-person visit, saving travel time and reducing healthcare costs and carbon footprint.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (334 people) and only tests one-week follow-up after uncomplicated surgery. The app may miss complications that a doctor would catch in person.
