Smartphone test for vision problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial is checking how well a smartphone “flicker” vision test works for people who have a scotoma (an area of missing or reduced vision). It may help confirm whether the smartphone test can measure or detect optic-related vision problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- If you join as a patient: you have a scotoma (an area with reduced or missing vision)
- If you join as a healthy control: you do not have any known eye conditions
- You must not have any other eye disorder besides the scotoma (if you’re a patient)
- If you have any other eye problem, you likely cannot join

This trial tests how well an EyeCTester smartphone app can measure vision blind spots and distorted vision compared with standard eye tests. If you qualify, you’ll do short near-vision and “Amsler grid” style tasks in the clinic to help confirm the app is accurate.
This study tests a smartphone-based system designed to help detect diseases affecting the front of the eye. Researchers will develop and refine this mobile tool to see if it can accurately identify common eye conditions using photos taken on a phone or with standard eye-examination equipment.
This trial tests a new way to measure your eyeglass prescription using a mobile device, compared with a traditional method called retinoscopy. It may help you get a quick and accurate vision check without needing special equipment.
This trial tests whether checking your vision at home with a smartphone app (WHOeyes) and answering a few questions can safely replace a one-week in-person visit after cataract surgery. If you qualify, you'll help doctors see if app-based follow-up is convenient and reliable.
This study tests a new smartphone app that uses artificial intelligence to analyze eye movements and detect problems with how your eyes move. Researchers want to see if this quick, phone-based test can accurately identify eye-movement disorders that doctors normally diagnose in clinic.
This trial tests a new automated vision-check system you can use on a phone or tablet. It aims to see if it works as well as the standard eye chart for people with at least counting-finger vision.
