NCT ID NCT05188703
First seen Mar 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a patient navigator—a person who helps coordinate medical care—could increase eye exam rates in 35 adults with diabetes who were at high risk for blindness. Participants met with a navigator quarterly to overcome barriers to care. The study measured how many completed baseline and follow-up eye exams, aiming to see if this approach is feasible for a larger trial.

What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more people with diabetes get regular eye exams, potentially preventing blindness from diabetic retinopathy.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is about scheduling and follow-up, not a medical treatment.
