Phone camera app aims to catch childhood eye cancer early

NCT ID NCT03016156

Summary

This study tested a smartphone app designed to detect a white glow in a child's eye, which can be a sign of serious conditions like retinoblastoma (eye cancer), cataracts, or glaucoma. Doctors compared the app's results to their standard eye exam to see if it was accurate. The goal was to see if the app could be a helpful tool for early detection, though it would not directly treat any condition.
