AI eye doctor: new study aims to spot Blindness-Causing diseases faster
NCT ID NCT07249307
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a new artificial intelligence (AI) system that reads eye scans (OCT) to diagnose common blinding eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Researchers will collect 2000 eye scans from patients at Peking Union Medical College Hospital and see how well the AI can identify each disease. The goal is to create a faster, more reliable way to diagnose these conditions using AI.

Who is studied
This study population consists of patients who undergo OCT and/or OCT angiography (OCTA) examinations as part of routine clinical care at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Eligible participants are clinically diagnosed with one or more of the following conditions: diabetic retinopathy, branch retinal vein occlusion, central retinal vein occlusion, age-related macular degeneration, pathologic myopia with choroidal neovascularization, or glaucoma with optic nerve damage. Both retrospectively collected and prospectively enrolled patients are included. No healthy volunteers or experimental interventions are involved.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Patients of any age or sex who undergo OCT and/or OCT angiography (OCTA) examinations as part of routine clinical care at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. 2\. Clinical diagnosis of at least one of the following conditions: Diabetic retinopathy, Branch retinal vein occlusion, Central retinal vein occlusion, Age-related macular degeneration, Pathologic myopia with choroidal neovascularization and Glaucoma with optic nerve damage. 3\. Imaging quality sufficient for analysis based on predefined OCT/OCTA quality control criteria. 4\. Ability to provide informed consent (for prospective participants), or availability of medical records that meet institutional ethical requirements (for retrospective data). Exclusion Criteria: \- 1. Poor-quality OCT/OCTA images that do not meet analysis standards (e.g., severe motion artifacts, media opacity, incomplete scans). 2\. Patients unable to cooperate with standard ophthalmic imaging procedures. 3. Any condition judged by investigators to preclude accurate imaging evaluation or reliable diagnostic interpretation.
