60 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: day 1

Population: The current version of the low cost OCT device only acquired a single line image on the retina per scan, which did not allow for the pinpointing of the central macula. Therefore, central macular thickness could not be measured.

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: day 1

Population: Volumetric imaging was not achievable with the current version of the low cost OCT device due to the line rate being too slow. Volumetric imaging was possible on the Heidelberg Spectralis OCT, but at a significant increase in acquisition time, which was not feasible for amount of time we had with each subject.

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: day 1

Population: Participants from whom OCT images of acceptable quality were obtained.

Measure of OCT image quality comparing level of image contrast to level of background noise. CNR = (mean of signal of region of interest \[i.e., retina\] - mean of background noise) divided by square root of (the square of the standard deviation of the region of interest + the square of the standard deviation of the background noise). Therefore, CNR is unitless.
