Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Healthy volunteers: - Impossibility to visualize fundus due to corneal or lenticular opacities. - Ocular disease, eg. retinal or ophthalmic disorder affecting macular area.;Patients with macular disease: - Impossibility to visualize fundus due to corneal or lenticular opacities. - Inability to obtain photographs to document CNV, e.g. due to allergy to fluorescein dye, ICG or lack of venous access. - Ocular surgery scheduled within initial 12 months of treatment. - Ocular surgery during last 3 months, except surgery for ARMD.;Patients due for autologous RPE/choroid graft: - Impossibility to visualize fundus due to corneal or lenticular opacities. - Inability to obtain photographs to document CNV, e.g. due to allergy to fluorescein dye, ICG or lack of venous access. - Ocular surgery during last 3 months.;Patients requiring enucleation: - Ocular turbidities preventing imaging.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation of clinical outcome parameters for structural data obtained with conventional imaging techniques and 1050 nm OCT. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The attribution of structural characteristics to data obtained by 1050 nm OCT in accordance with data obtained by FAG/ICG imaging and histological data (ganglion cell, inner plexiform, inner nuclear, outer plexiform, outer nuclear, outer limiting membrane, inner and outer photoreceptor segment interface, retinal pigment epithelium and choroid). - Comparison of structural data obtained with conventional imaging techniques and 1050 nm OCT. - Correlation between repeated scans with 1050 nm OCT within one subject. | — |
