Whole Eye Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to Improve Refractive Surgery and Eye Care

Terminated
Conditions
Image, Body
Interventions
Device: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Device: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Registration Number
NCT03219567
Lead Sponsor
Duke University
Brief Summary

The overall objective is to develop the hardware systems and software algorithms necessary to make accurate measurements of the whole eye with optical coherence tomography (OCT).

The research procedure that each subject will undergo is imaging with the OCT system. Three populations will be included: 1. Normals to ensure the imaging range of the system, 2. Patients with previous LASIK who will be undergoing cataract surgery, and 3. Patients with a history of cataract surgery or high myopia. The third group will also undergo MRI imaging for comparison.

There are no known risks to the subject from imaging with optical coherence tomography beyond what is normal for standard ocular photographic procedures. Light exposure is below ANSI limits. In groups 2 and 3, clinical parameters drawn from the OCT images will be compared to standard of care imaging.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difference in Radius of Curvature (Rc) of the Posterior Eye From OCT Compared to MRI36 months

The radius of curvature of the posterior eye will be measured via surface fitting of the posterior eye data from OCT and MRI. Data reported reflects the Rc of the posterior eye measured by OCT minus the value obtained by MRI measurement.
