NCT ID NCT06583954
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new prototype device that uses light field technology to measure vision problems like nearsightedness and farsightedness. Researchers compared its accuracy to standard methods in 120 healthy adults. The goal was to see if this new approach could reliably determine eyeglass prescriptions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Lightfield technology device (CREAL prototype)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a faster, more convenient way to measure eyeglass prescriptions without traditional trial frames or phoropters.
What could go wrong
This is an early proof-of-concept study with a prototype, so the device may not be as accurate as current methods. It only tested healthy adults with a limited range of vision problems.
