Auto-aligned OCT for Eye Disorders
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of the current study is to conduct a pilot study to test a new version of the handheld OCT device capable of auto-alignment to image the retina in adult volunteers, and adult and pediatric patients in clinic.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It is best to discuss this with the study team or your healthcare provider.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Auto-aligned OCT for eye disorders?
Research shows that aligning and averaging multiple OCT scans can improve the quality of retinal images, making it easier to diagnose and monitor eye conditions. This suggests that Auto-aligned OCT, which likely uses similar techniques, could be effective in providing clearer images for better eye disorder management.12345
Is Auto-aligned OCT safe for use in humans?
How does the Auto-aligned OCT treatment differ from other treatments for eye disorders?
Auto-aligned OCT is unique because it uses advanced imaging techniques to automatically align and register images from different devices, providing more accurate and comprehensive information about the eye's structure. This approach enhances the precision of diagnosis and monitoring compared to traditional OCT methods, which may not integrate data from multiple sources as effectively.110111213
