Project Summary
Many eye diseases are the result of thinning of the cornea or sclera. As is often the case in medicine, early detection is ideal for optimal treatment outcomes.
One such disease is keratoconus which is the bulging of the cornea. Our goal is to non-invasively detect this deformation in the eye via OCE, and enable earlier detection than current techniques support.
Design Requirements
- Safety: we may be dealing with patients who have especially sensitive eyes.
- Ease of use: imaging should take as little time as possible.
- Compatibility with existing ophthalmic practice and equipment.
System Design and Results
Unfortunately this is all I can share until we complete our patent submission! In the meantime this abstract outlines the system results:
