NCT ID NCT06943599
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two simple ways to help people attend eye hospital appointments after being screened for age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or glaucoma. About 3,000 participants who need a follow-up visit will get either a text reminder, a home visit from a health worker, or no reminder. The goal is to see which method works best to improve attendance.
