Diagnostic Possibilities in Ophthalmological Diseases Using Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography

October 3, 2023 updated by: Matthias Bolz, Johannes Kepler University of Linz
In this pilot study we want to investigate morphological features acquired by the novel image modality and gain information regarding disease pathomechanism, development and future possible influence on disease management for patients affected by those diseases.

Study Population

The participants will be selected by the Department of Ophthalmology at Kepler University Clinic Linz. All patients of the department scheduled for an outgoing appointment with regular examination in the time period of the study can be included in the study. Patients are being examined in the outgoing clinics with standard examinations. Additionally an image using the Zeiss Plex Elite 9000 Swept Source OCT is being performed. Patients of interest for this pilot study are patients with retinal, choroidal, vascular or glaucomatous changes.
