Helioscope optical biometer combining LED corneal topography and SS-OCT

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

The Helioscope combines a color LED–based corneal topographer with a novel swept‑source OCT (SS‑OCT) module to capture corneal shape and ocular biometry in a single device. The study collects Helioscope measurements in adults with cataract and compares them to readings from the Cassini Ambient topographer and the Argos SS‑OCT biometer. Data from cataractous eyes will be used to develop and refine the device’s software algorithms, with special attention to performance in dense cataract. Measurements are acquired at a single clinical site after informed consent and with eligibility limited to adults who can fixate.
