Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include individuals aged 18 to 80 with ocular diseases affecting the cornea, lens, or glaucoma, as well as those requiring refractive surgery.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active contagious eye diseases or those unable to maintain a still position during examinations may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study explores the use of innovative imaging technologies, specifically Optical Transmission Tomography (OTT), alongside Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Specular Microscopy (SM), to enhance the examination of ocular diseases. Healthy subjects and patients with ocular disorders will undergo imaging sessions at baseline and follow-up visits over a period of up to four years. The goal is to improve the resolution and speed of ocular imaging, which may lead to better understanding and management of conditions like glaucoma and cataracts.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic capabilities and treatment outcomes for patients with ocular diseases.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach utilizes established imaging technologies, the specific combination and application of OTT in this context is relatively novel.
