New Eye-Tracking tech could let AMD patients monitor vision loss from home
NCT ID NCT07255859
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a home-based eye-tracking system called AVIGA to see if it can detect when wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) comes back. Sixty adults aged 50-99 who are being treated for wet AMD will use the AVIGA device at home, and its accuracy will be compared to the standard Amsler grid test. The goal is to make monitoring easier and more accessible for patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AVIGA device (home-based gaze-tracking system)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a convenient, at-home way to monitor for wet AMD recurrence, potentially reducing the need for frequent clinic visits.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (60 participants) focused on diagnostic accuracy. The device may not be as reliable as in-clinic tests, and results may not apply to all populations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria 1. Subjects in the age group ≥ 50 to 99 years old. 2. Both genders 3. Able to understand verbal spoken instructions in British/American English, Chinese or Bahasa Melayu and demonstrate device functionality and implementation. 4. Able to turn on and connect the web-camera to a computer independently or with the help of family. 5. Subjects undergoing treatment for Wet-AMD without any signs and symptoms of recurrence of active AMD (AMD recurrence: choroidal neovascularisation, intraretinal or subretinal fluid is present) with OCT lesion fluid volume more than 2 mm3 or ILM height more than 250µm. 6. Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment. 7. Subjects must be able to understand and provide informed consent. A signed informed consent form must be provided before any study assessments. Exclusion criteria 1. Unable to understand verbal spoken instructions and demonstrate device functionality and implementation. 2. Unable to turn on and connect the web-camera to a computer independently. 3. Any ocular surgery in the previous 3 months, or vitrectomy in the previous 12 months 4. Any history of macular pathology unrelated to AMD affecting vision or contributing to the presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid in the study eye 5. 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 6. Any prior or concomitant treatment for CNV or vitreomacular-interface abnormalities in the study eye. 7. History of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye 8. Active ocular inflammation or suspected or active ocular or periocular infection in either eye.
