NCT ID NCT06841575
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests a new handheld OCT device that automatically aligns to the eye to take detailed pictures of the retina. Researchers will scan 50 healthy adults, adult patients, and children in eye clinics to see if the device works well. The goal is to make retinal imaging easier and more reliable for diagnosing eye diseases in children.
