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
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

Exclusion Criteria3
- Have occludable narrow angles (without a patent peripheral iridotomy)
- Monocular subjects
- Do not or cannot understand the instructions for the imaging
