Validation of the Use of Terahertz Scanning System on Corneal Scars and Corneal Edema
Sponsor: Singapore Eye Research Institute
Summary
This observational study aims to validate the use of THz scanning system in corneal edema and corneal scars, and to investigate the accuracy and performance on the use of THz scanning system in the evaluation of the progression of corneal edema and corneal scars. Participants corneal scars and corneal edema will undergo THz scanning, followed by a series of conventional clinical examinations for detailed characterization of the corneal lesion. The performance of the use of THz system on corneal scars and edema will be evaluated by correlating measurements from the THz scans with those obtained from standard clinical methods. The investigators hypothesize that the THz scanning system has the capacity to evaluate the hydration level on human corneas.

Interventions
THz scanning using THz Imaging system.
The THz scanning system is non-invasive and non-contact. It is a prototype developed by Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), A\*STAR, Singapore and is performed for the purpose of research. THz scanning will provide safety data in human and the measurement of cornea hydration status. Each THz scan will take approximately 1 second. Real-time data will be generated when participants are positioned in front of the device.
