Eye-Tracking tech could spot macular degeneration faster
NCT ID NCT06518512
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device called AVIGA that tracks eye movements to detect vision problems in people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Researchers will compare the device's results with standard eye exams to see if it can reliably spot disease activity. The goal is to develop a quick, automated way to monitor AMD over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Automated Vision Assessment and Impairment Detection through Gaze Analysis (AVIGA) system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple, automated eye-tracking test to detect and monitor wet age-related macular degeneration without the need for complex equipment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with 128 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is not yet proven to replace standard tests.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects in the age group = 55 years and above. * Both genders * Subjects with Wet-AMD * Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator\'s judgment * Subjects must be able to understand and provide informed consent. A signed informed consent form must be provided before any study assessments are done. Exclusion Criteria: * Uncontrolled blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure \>180 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and/or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg while a patient is at rest. * Any history of macular pathology unrelated to AMD affecting vision or contributing to the presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid in the study eye * Any concurrent intraocular condition in the study eye that, in the opinion of the investigator, could either reduce the potential for visual improvement or require medical or surgical intervention during the study * History of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye * Active ocular inflammation or suspected or active ocular or periocular infection in either eye * Other protocol-specified exclusion criteria may apply
