A Study to Test the Diagnostic Potential of Brillouin Microscopy for Corneal Ectasia

Sponsor

Massachusetts General Hospital

Enrollment

168 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2013

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Keratoconus Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy Ectasia Crosslinking

Summary

We have developed novel Brillouin microscopy and we are testing its potential for keratoconus and ectasia diagnostics. We plan to perform axial scans of the cornea in human volunteers in order to compare biomechanical properties of Keratoconus vs. Normal corneas and compare biomechanical properties of post-LASIK ectasia vs. normal corneas.

Eligibility
