New treatment option for Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Official title Defining Retinal Structures Using Hyperspectral Retinal Imaging
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07555574
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study evaluates hyperspectral retinal imaging as a novel, non-invasive imaging technique to characterise retinal and optic nerve structures in healthy individuals and patients with eye disease. Hyperspectral imaging captures retinal data across multiple wavelengths to generate detailed spectral information that may reveal features not visible with conventional retinal photography.
