AI eye scanner could speed up emergency referrals for vision loss
NCT ID NCT07643129
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help eye doctors identify urgent retinal conditions—like retinal detachment or bleeding—more accurately from wide-field eye images. Eight ophthalmologists will review images with and without AI assistance to see if the tool improves referral decisions. The goal is to reduce missed urgent cases and unnecessary referrals.
