New Baby-Friendly eye scanner could spot retinal disease early

NCT ID NCT06139523

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 37 times

Summary

This pilot study tests a new handheld eye imaging device (Theia 1) against an existing system in 30 healthy adults and children. The goal is to see if the new device can capture wider, clearer images of the retina to help diagnose conditions like retinal disease, glaucoma, and optic nerve problems. Researchers hope it will be easier to use at the bedside for young patients.

Active substance

Theia 1 widefield imaging system (contact OCT device)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to better imaging tools for diagnosing and monitoring eye diseases in infants and children.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The new device may not perform better than existing systems.
