Eye scan may spot hidden blood-flow changes that signal glaucoma risk in diabetes

NCT ID NCT07722910

First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study uses a painless, non-invasive eye scan called iris OCTA to measure blood flow in the iris of people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers want to see if blood-flow patterns differ between healthy eyes, diabetic eyes without complications, and those with diabetic retinopathy or neovascular glaucoma. The goal is to find out whether iris blood flow can help identify neovascular glaucoma earlier.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If iris blood flow patterns reliably identify neovascular glaucoma early, this could lead to a non-invasive screening tool for diabetic eye complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not prove that iris OCTA is accurate enough for routine clinical use.
