Distinguishing Healthy and Keratoconic Eyes Using Ultrahigh-Resolution OCT

Completed

• Conditions: Keratoconus

• Registration Number: NCT03184610
• Lead Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna

Brief Summary

The OCT used in this trial offers the advantage of both a non-contact method and a very high axial resolution.
