Brief Summary

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

The goal of this research study is to compare two ultrawide field cameras to the gold standard imaging system to evaluate the back of the eye. The main question it aims to answer is the same results and information can be acquired from all of the cameras for evaluating and monitoring inherited retinal diseases (IRDs).

Participants will:

* undergo pupillary dilation
* have photographs taken of the inside of the eyes using three different cameras

Study Groups

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

Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Spectralis FAF imaging

Intervention Type DEVICE

Spectralis is a scanning laser ophthalmoscope which uses a blue light excitation wavelength of 488nm and a 500nm barrier filter to produce FAF images. Spectralis images 20-55 degrees of the retina.

Optos imaging

Intervention Type DEVICE

Optos is an ultrawide field imaging platform which images up to 200 degrees of the retina. It uses both a green-light excitation wavelength of 532nm and a red-light excitation wavelength of 633nm with an emission filter of greater than 540nm to produce FAF images.

Clarus imaging

Intervention Type DEVICE

Clarus 700 is an ultrawide field imaging system with similar retinal coverage to that of Optos. It uses Broad Line Fundus Imaging to produce blue FAF images at excitation wavelengths of 435-500nm and green FAF images at wavelengths of 500-585nm
