About this study
In plain language
This study tests a new way to screen for glaucoma, an eye disease that can harm vision. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) to read photos of the back of the eye, checks eye pressure, and tests side vision with a headset if needed. It is for people with diabetes who are getting AI-based eye screening at primary care centers.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new screening approach including an artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes fundus photographs, measurement of eye pressure and visual field testing works to screen for glaucoma. Participants will: Have an image of their fundus (back of the eye) taken as part of their diabetic eye screening Have a measurement of their eye pressure If needed, have a test of their side vision using a headset
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Have diabetes and be getting screened for diabetic retinopathy (eye damage from diabetes) at a primary care center using the LumineticsCore AI system.
- Be able and willing to give informed consent, meaning you understand the study and agree to take part.
Who can't join
Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
Official eligibility criteria
* Individuals with diabetes undergoing AI-based screening for diabetic retinopathy using the LumineticsCore (Digital Diagnostics) system at primary care centers. * Individuals who are able and willing to provide informed consent for participation in the study.
