ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called Developing Better Computerised Vision Tests (CVTV), is focused on improving how we measure vision in people with various eye conditions, such as visual impairment, amblyopia (lazy eye), and macular degeneration. The goal is to create and validate new computer-based tests that can more accurately assess vision compared to traditional printed charts. These tests will help doctors better understand a patient's vision and detect any changes over time. The trial is being conducted at Guys and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and will include a wide range of vision tests for patients of all ages.

To participate, you need to be between 3 and 99 years old and able to understand the study information and give your consent. The trial will have two parts: in Part A, participants will take various computerised vision tests in a single session lasting up to an hour. In Part B, the focus is on developing a home monitoring app for adults at risk of vision loss, which may take a bit longer (up to two months). This study is a great opportunity to contribute to improving vision care while also getting your vision assessed in a new way!
