Researchers at Duke University are testing two different handheld cameras that take detailed pictures of the back of the eye (the retina). One camera needs to touch the eye gently, while the other takes pictures without touching it. The study wants to find out which camera works better for children who have eye diseases or need eye exams.
Children with eye diseases need clear pictures of their retinas to help doctors diagnose and treat them. The researchers want to compare these two imaging cameras to figure out which one gives the best pictures and is easiest to use with children.

If you join this study, you will have your eyes scanned using both imaging cameras during a visit to Duke Eye Center or during a clinically needed exam under anesthesia. The cameras take detailed pictures of the back of your eye; one may gently touch your eye while the other does not. The images are then sent to researchers who analyze them to compare how well each camera works.
