New eye imaging study aims to map retinal disease progression
NCT ID NCT07615699
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This observational study will use advanced imaging techniques to measure changes in the retina and choroid (the layer beneath the retina) in people with eye diseases and healthy volunteers. Over 5 years, researchers will track thickness and blood vessel density to better understand how these conditions evolve. The study does not test any treatment, but aims to improve knowledge of eye disease progression.

Who is studied
The study population consists of both healthy volunteers and patients diagnosed with any type of retino-choroidal pathology. Participants will be selected from individuals who routinely attend or are referred to the outpatient clinics at the IRCCS Fondazione G. B. Bietti in Rome, Italy. The sample is designed to include a wide age range (age ≥ 6 years old) to capture the natural progression and morpho-functional characteristics of these conditions across different demographics. The cohort will feature a 4:1 allocation ratio, comprising 100 patients with retino-choroidal diseases and 25 age- and sex-matched healthy controls to ensure adequate statistical power for longitudinal progression analysis.
