Widefield Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope Optimized for Pediatric and Neonatal Imaging
Duke University
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to test the use of a novel Widefield Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (WiSLO) Optimized for Pediatric and Neonatal Imaging in pediatric and adult subjects who are undergoing clinical evaluation for eye disease or are healthy adult volunteers. The main questions to answer are: * Whether WiSLO will be more comfortable and satisfactory in experience for the patient and operator than commercial alternatives. * If the quality of WiSLO near infrared images will be comparable to color fundus camera imaging across population of different ages and fundus pigmentation. Participants will have the following research procedures: * Imaging of both eyes with a research noncontact WiSLO * Imaging of both eyes with a commercially available non-contact hand held fundus camera (Volk Pictor Plus) * Likert scales for adults * Pediatric Likert scales for children * CRIES scales for infants.
Description
The Widefield Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (WiSLO) Optimized for Pediatric and Neonatal Imaging study brings together a cross-disciplinary team of biomedical engineers and ophthalmologists to obtain feedback about and evaluate image quality of a handheld scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) device designed and developed at Duke Biomedical Engineering under this grant specifically for portable pediatric and neonatal imaging applications which are not accessible by these populations. The expected outcome of the grant work is a validated design for a cost-scalable, dual-mode, widefield S…
