  • \- Subject is generally healthy with no current significant or a history of a significant neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary (including asthma), hepatic, metabolic, rheumatic, autoimmune, hematological or renal disorder, as determined by the investigator’s clinical judgment through collection of medical history and performance of a physical examination. A significant disorder is defined as a disease or medical condition associated with impaired health status, requiring regular or current medical treatment and/or follow up. For the purposes of this study, an investigator may classify a medical condition as a nonsignificant disorder despite the fact that the subject receives treatment. Subjects having controlled Stage 1 hypertension (blood pressure of 140\-159 mmHg systolic and/or 90\-99 mmHg diastolic) are eligible for participation in this study.
  • \- Normal findings in the medical history unless the investigator considers an abnormality to be clinically irrelevant
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1\.2 Adults (18\-64 years) yes
  • F.1\.2\.1 Number of subjects for this age range 10

  • \- Ocular surgery (including intravitreal injection) during the 3 months preceding the study
  • \- Vitrectomized eyes
  • \- History of diabetes
  • \- Ametropia \> 6 Dpt
  • \- Relevant ophthalmic diseases/conditions that could interfere with LSFG measurements (e.g. glaucoma, optic nerve head drusen, tilted disc, etc.)
  • \- Ocular infection or clinically significant inflammation
  • \- Opacities of the cornea (e.g. corneal scars, corneal oedema), the lens (e.g. LOCS\-II grading \> 2, posterior capsule opacification) or the vitreous (e.g. vitreous haemorrhage, asteroid hyalosis)
