AI eye test could catch glaucoma early in diabetics
NCT ID NCT07243665
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) program can help spot glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness, in people with diabetes. About 1,040 adults with diabetes will have their eye photos checked by either the AI or a human grader to see which method finds glaucoma more accurately. The goal is to make glaucoma screening faster and more reliable during routine diabetic eye exams.

Inclusion Criteria: We aim to recruit all eligible patients who attend Singapore General Hospital (SGH) Diabetes \& Metabolism Centre's (DMC) clinics and SingHealth Polyclinics (SHP)-Bukit Merah under the Singapore Integrated Diabetic Retinopathy Programme (SiDRP). Patients are eligible for the study if 1. Aged 21 years old and above, with diabetes, including type 1 and type 2, 2. Retinal photos of the patients can be taken with the fundus camera in the clinics, regardless of photos' quality, and 3. They are willing and capable of providing a written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: Patients meeting any of the exclusion criteria will be excluded from participation: 1. Patients who have difficulty in having retinal photos taken or have difficulties in completing the ocular examination protocols according to investigator's decision. 2. Any other contraindication(s) as indicated by the endocrinologists responsible for the patients. \-
