Self-Monitoring OCT
Sponsor: Case Western Reserve University
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to test participants ability to obtain OCT images of the eyes using an OCT device that is comparable to FDA-approved OCT devices on the market, without the help of an eye technician. Patients with ocular diseases often need to come to frequent appointments with an eye care provider for close monitoring and evaluation. Transportation difficulties, other medical problems, and limited appointments slots can make regular follow-up challenging. In addition, the anxiety of permanent vision loss and subjective nature of monitoring symptoms highlight the need for an alternative solution in which patients can self-generate OCT images of the eye for the eye care provider to review.
