New eye exam gadgets could replace dilation drops for kids
NCT ID NCT06668246
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two new devices that automatically measure vision in children aged 6 to 16. The devices use special lenses that adjust themselves, avoiding the need for eye drops that dilate the pupils. Researchers compared the results from 43 children to the standard dilation exam to see how well the new methods work.
