AI eye exam could spot glaucoma in seconds
NCT ID NCT07668193
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) system called GlaukomAI that analyzes standard eye photos to detect glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. Researchers will enroll 1,200 participants to see how accurately the AI identifies glaucoma compared to expert doctors. If it works well, this tool could make glaucoma screening faster and more accessible, helping people get treatment sooner.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GlaukomAI (Sens-vue GlaukomAI) - an AI-based diagnostic software
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could help doctors find glaucoma earlier, potentially preventing blindness by speeding up referrals.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early validation study, not a treatment trial. The AI may not perform as well in real-world settings, and it only analyzes eye photos, not other tests.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
Study facts

Not a phased trial
Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria for all patients: * Age \>18 years * Freely given informed consent obtained prior to study initiation * The participant has the capacity to understand and the willingness to follow study instructions and is likely to complete all required visits and procedures Inclusion Criteria for glaucoma patients: Patients affected by any type of glaucoma (primary open-angle, primary angle-closure, secondary glaucoma) on pharmacological therapy Inclusion Criteria for healthy controls: * Absence of ocular pathologies * IOP \<21 mmHg * Visual field and OCT within normal limits * Optic disc of normal appearance on clinical evaluation Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of media opacities preventing the acquisition of adequate quality fundus imaging (e.g., advanced cataract, vitreous hemorrhage, severe corneal opacities) * Retinal or optic nerve pathologies that could confound the diagnosis (e.g., non-glaucomatous optic neuropathies (ischemic, inflammatory, compressive), moderate-to-severe diabetic retinopathy, advanced macular degeneration, retinal vascular occlusions) * Having undergone any ocular surgery in the past 3 months * Inability to cooperate with perimetric examination
