NCT ID NCT02423213
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a microscope that has an OCT scanner built directly into it, allowing surgeons to take detailed cross-sectional images of the eye during surgery. The goal is to see if this setup is practical and whether the extra visual information helps guide surgical decisions. The study includes adults undergoing any type of ophthalmic surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- microscope-integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technology could give surgeons real-time, detailed views of eye tissues during surgery, potentially improving precision and outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study focused on whether the device works in practice, not on patient outcomes. It may not change surgical decisions or improve results.
