Using eye tests to predict diabetic retinopathy
Part of Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how images and other tests of the eye can help predict diabetic retinopathy, an eye problem caused by diabetes that can lead to vision loss. If you have diabetes, your eye health will be monitored closely. If you do not, you may participate as a healthy comparison.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You either have diabetes (type 1 or type 2) or you do not have diabetes (for the healthy comparison group).
- You have not had eye surgery in the past.
- You do not have other serious eye diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration.
- You are able to understand and answer questionnaires and eye exams.

This study uses an AI program called DRISTi to screen for diabetic eye disease by taking pictures of the back of your eye. It's designed for adults with diabetes who haven't had major eye treatments or vision loss.
This study tests a new automated tool that checks for diabetic retinopathy, a common eye problem in people with diabetes. It may help catch the condition early, so vision loss can be prevented.
This trial tests an AI system that automatically checks eye photos for signs of diabetic retinopathy, a diabetes complication that can harm vision. If you have diabetes, this study may help detect the condition earlier and prevent vision loss.
This study uses a special eye scan (OCTA) to look at the tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye and compares them between people with diabetes whose blood sugar is well-controlled and those whose is not. The goal is to understand how blood sugar control affects eye health in people with diabetic retinopathy.
This study looks at how diabetes and eye inflammation are linked in people with diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina caused by diabetes). By studying fluid samples from the eye during cataract surgery, researchers hope to find new ways to treat or prevent this condition.
This study uses special eye photographs to look at early signs of diabetes damage in the eyes and kidneys. It may help doctors predict how diabetes complications progress and plan better care.
