Brief summary

In this study, participants will be imaged using two Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) devices: device N, a standard conventional OCT device with an invention (comfortable chin and forehead rest that can be adjusted to fit each individual's size) attached to the device; and device C, the standard conventional OCT device with no invention attached. The investigators will assess whether the chin and forehead rest attachment (invention) provides a more comfortable experience for patients.

Inclusion criteria

* Healthy volunteers; OR, * AMD, diabetic retinopathy, central serous chorioretinopathy, and/or glaucoma or glaucoma suspects or any other suspected eye disease Group-Specific Inclusion Criteria: \-- There are no group-specific inclusion criteria for patients with AMD, diabetic retinopathy, and central serous chorioretinopathy. Healthy Volunteers * A normal clinical ophthalmic examination. * Reliable VF, reproducible glaucoma hemifield tests labeled within normal limits on at least one test. * Good quality (adequate signal strength ≥ 6/10, without segmentation algorithm failure and motion artifacts \> 1 vessel diameter) RNFL and Ganglion Cell Inner Plexiform Layer (GCIPL) OCT, within normal limits. Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) * Clinical characteristics of glaucoma: optic nerve head (ONH) abnormalities: global rim thinning, rim notch, or disc hemorrhage; retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defect. * Typical glaucomatous field loss in reliable VF, reproducible glaucoma hemifield tests labeled outside normal limits on at least two consecutive tests. * Good quality (adequate signal strength ≥ 6/10, without segmentation algorithm failure and motion artifacts \> 1 vessel diameter) RNFL and GCIPL OCT, labeled outside normal limits with typical glaucomatous RNFL and GCIL thinning. Normal Tension Glaucoma (NTG) * Identical to POAG criteria with IOP recorded at ≤ 21 mmHg at any time point.

Exclusion criteria

An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: \- Any medical treatment (e.g., chronic corticosteroid, hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, thioridazine, canthaxanthine) or conditions that affect VF (e.g., stroke) and retinal thickness other than glaucoma.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time Duration to Adjust for Number of Motion Artifacts Present With Device N ImagingImaging Session (Day 1)The OCT imaging device includes an eye tracking feature that selects a specific location within the eye and constantly adjusts, i.e. tracks, for fine fixation adjustments that occur when a patient's eye is moving very slightly during imaging. The time to adjust for the number of motion artifacts present will be defined as the duration it takes from the moment the imager clicks Acquire on the device to when the progress bar is Full.

Outcome results

Primary

Comfort Level Rating of Device C on 0-5 Scale

Participants will be asked to rate how comfortable Device C was, on a scale of 0-5. Higher scores indicate higher levels of comfort.

Time frame: Post-Imaging Session (Day 1)

Population: N=0 participants were analyzed in the Device C (OD-OS), then Device N (OD-OS) arm due to early termination of the trial prior to data collection from participants. N=0 participants were analyzed in the Device C (OS-OD), then Device N (OS-OD), Device N (OD-OS), then Device C (OD-OS), and Device N (OS-OD), then Device C (OS-OD) arms because no participants were enrolled into these arms.
