The Glaucoma and Retinopathy Screening Study (GRaSS)
Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary
Summary
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
Description
Study Overview: This study is a prospective, interventional clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based screening program within community health settings. This study targets especially diabetic patients because they have higher risks of developing glaucoma. By integrating glaucoma screening into existing diabetic eye disease (DED) screenings, the study aims to identify cases of glaucoma earlier, thereby preventing or delaying progression to blindness. Background: Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that causes progressive optic nerve damage, o…
