A simple eye-tracking test may replace button-pressing exams for pituitary tumor patients
NCT ID NCT06266949

Summary
This study tests whether a new eye-tracking device called SONDA can accurately measure visual field loss in people with pituitary tumors. Standard visual field tests require patients to press a button when they see lights, which can be tiring and unreliable. The SONDA test instead tracks eye movements to map vision. Researchers will compare SONDA results with standard tests and check how consistent the measurements are across repeat sessions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SONDA eye-tracking visual field test
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a faster, easier way to detect vision loss from pituitary tumors without the need for a button-pressing response.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage diagnostic study with only 30 participants. The test may not be accurate enough to replace current methods, and results may not apply to other types of vision loss.
