Brief summary

Purpose: To evaluate non-mydriatic spectral domain optical coherence tomography (NMOCT) as a telemedicine screening tool for adult foveal abnormalities. Materials and Methods: two hundred and fifty middle-aged subjects will be asked to undergo a NMOCT test. These subjects will also be invited to undergo a comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluation to check for the efficacy of the NMOCT as a telemedicine screening tool in detecting foveal abnormalities.

Interventions

Assessment entails a non-mydriatic optical coherence tomography in addition to a comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluation done at the military hospital for adult subjects who happen to be accompanying patients. This single assessment session lasts about 90 minutes It is not repeated. The non mydriatic OCT image is sent to a reading center electronically to be evaluated by a reader.
