Description
Vaishaali Gunalan and co-authors set out a study protocol in 2026 for testing whether color vision checks can catch early diabetic retinopathy. This eye disease, a complication of diabetes, damages the retina and is a leading cause of blindness in working age adults. It usually causes no symptoms until the damage is advanced, so screening decides who keeps their sight.
Their project, shortened to CODER, proposes color vision assessment as the screening tool, since color perception can falter early in the disease. A protocol paper fixes the design, measures, and analysis plan before results exist, keeping the eventual findings honest. A cheap, quick test that community clinics could run would widen screening far beyond specialist eye centers.
