New imaging methods aim to sharpen monitoring of blinding eye disease
NCT ID NCT07556406
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two advanced eye imaging techniques—central microperimetry and radial OCT—to see if they can more accurately measure the progression of geographic atrophy, a severe form of age-related macular degeneration that can lead to blindness. Researchers will follow 80 adults aged 55 and older who either have geographic atrophy or are at risk of developing it. The goal is to improve how doctors track the disease's advance toward the center of the retina, which is crucial for sharp vision.
