Researchers at Duke University are testing two different handheld cameras that take detailed pictures of the back of the eye (the retina). One camera touches the eye gently, while the other takes pictures without touching it. The study wants to figure out which camera works better for children with eye diseases like glaucoma or retinal problems.
Children with eye diseases need clear pictures of the back of their eyes to help doctors diagnose and treat them. These new handheld cameras are easier to use with kids than older equipment, but doctors need to know which version takes the best pictures.

If you are selected, you or your child will have eye imaging done using both handheld cameras, either during a regular clinic visit or during a clinically needed eye exam under anesthesia. The imaging process is painless and takes just a few minutes. There is a very small risk of minor corneal irritation (scratching) with the contact camera, similar to other contact eye cameras already used safely in clinics. The pictures taken will be sent securely to Duke's research lab for careful analysis.
