ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new eye imaging tool called the Widefield Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (WiSLO), which is designed to be used for both children and adults. The main goal is to see if using this new device is more comfortable and satisfactory for patients and the healthcare providers compared to traditional imaging methods. The researchers also want to find out if the pictures taken with WiSLO are as clear and useful as those taken with standard color cameras, regardless of the patients' age or eye characteristics.

To participate in this study, adults aged 18 and older, as well as infants and children over 30 days old, can join if they are having an eye exam, whether they have eye issues or not. Participants will undergo imaging of their eyes using both the WiSLO and a regular hand-held camera. Parents or guardians will need to consent for minors, and older children will also need to agree to participate. It’s important to note that some health conditions may prevent participation, such as certain eye infections or problems. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to gather important information about eye health and imaging techniques for people of all ages.
