Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to look at retinal abnormalities in outpatient renal dialysis patients using the FDA approved RetinaVue 100 hand-held (non-mydriatic) camera.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There are no studies evaluating (diabetic or non-diabetic) retinopathy in the renal dialysis patient population (\~300,000 Americans). Approximately 50% of this population has End-stage Retinal Disease (ESRD) due to diabetes. Dialysis patients are among the most debilitated patients, and thus, have even more barriers to receiving their recommended annual retinal evaluation. The advent of the RetinaVue hand-held retinal camera holds great promise in this population, as dialysis patients access medical care 3 times a week, for several hours at a time at their dialysis clinic.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

RetinaVue 100 camera

Participants will have a retinal screening completed by study staff using the FDA-approved RetinaVue 100 hand-held camera

Group Type OTHER

RetinaVue 100 camera

Intervention Type DEVICE

Images of the subject's eye will be obtained using the RetinaVue 100 camera and uploaded to a secure network. The study doctor, a board-certified ophthalmologist, will interpret the patient images and return a diagnosis and management plan to the dialysis unit.
