Eye scan may forecast vision after brain surgery
NCT ID NCT04074642
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a type of eye scan called OCT-angiography can predict how well vision will recover after surgery to remove a pituitary tumor. Researchers compared the scan results with standard vision tests in 21 patients. The goal was to see if the scan could serve as a reliable marker for visual outcomes.
