Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators would like to know if different imaging devices can improve the quality of images and visualization of imaged tissues. Also, the investigators would like to find out whether these changes are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. Using images of previous participants will allow us to demonstrate the advancement of different technologies, as well be used to allow comparisons between current technologies.
Detailed description
To test the quality of images from the Nidek MP-3 device and to measure Geographic Atrophy (GA) in patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
Interventions
DEVICENidek MP-3
Nidek MP-3 device to be used to take images which will allow measurement of GA in patients with AMD
