Summary
This trial will investigate if blood flow imaging can help diagnose glaucoma. Participants will have tests to measure blood pressure, heart rate, etc & be imaged using XyCAM RI & other tools.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with binocular vision who can consent, are healthy or need glaucoma assessment, or have moderate to severe glaucoma in one eye. It's not for those with significant eye issues like cataracts, past surgeries (except some), other diseases besides glaucoma, narrow angles, bad reactions to certain drugs, high refractive error (>15 diopters), or women who are pregnant/nursing.
What is being tested?
The study tests the XyCAM RI and FC devices' ability to use blood flow imaging for managing glaucoma. Participants will undergo various imaging procedures including fundus photography and ocular blood flow monitoring while breathing pure oxygen through a mask.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from bright lights during imaging, temporary blurred vision due to pupil dilation with tropicamide, and possible dizziness or lightheadedness when inhaling pure oxygen.
