Robotically Assisted Anterior Eye Examinations for Acute Eye Care
Duke University
Summary
The purpose of this study is to develop and test a robotically assisted imaging system for the front of the eye with a goal of helping eye care through the emergency department.
Eligibility
- Age range
- 18+ years
- Sex
- All
- Healthy volunteers
- Yes
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients 18 years of age and older * Presenting with ocular complaints potentially indicative of an anterior segment pathology (e.g., foreign body sensation, red eye, pain) Exclusion Criteria: * Hemodynamically unstable patients (e.g., undergoing active resuscitation efforts) * Patients with potential penetrating trauma to the eye who may need immediate surgical care
Interventions
- DeviceRobotically Aligned Eye Imaging System
Robotically Aligned Eye Imaging System is a non-contact, micrometer scale imaging technique that provides clinicians and researchers with high resolution in vivo images sufficient to visualize layered microanatomy in 3D. The study team will develop hardware systems and software algorithms necessary for acquiring ocular anterior segment images for those seeking eye care in emergency department settings.
