Study summary

Retroillumination photography is difficult. The reflections on the cornea and the lens are constant and prevent from obtaining a complete and clear image. Study team have modified a slit lamp intended to photograph the anterior segment of the eye in retroillumination by using a light source in the near infrared (780 nm), and a process which eliminates the reflections.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of pictures without reflection (%)

    Evaluation of the device's retroillumination. Pictures without reflection: no reflection or a minimal reflection without loss of information.

    Time frame: Year: 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of pictures clean on the pathological area (%)

    Evaluation of the device's retroillumination. Pictures clean : absence of blur, or minimal blurred that does not result in loss of information..

    Time frame: Year: 1

  2. Serious adverse events

    Number of serious adverse events

    Time frame: Year: 1
