ED providers' standard of care exam

Interventions

Robotically Aligned Eye Imaging System

Robotically Aligned Eye Imaging System is a non-contact, micrometer scale imaging technique that provides clinicians and researchers with high resolution in vivo images sufficient to visualize layered microanatomy in 3D. The study team will develop hardware systems and software algorithms necessary for acquiring ocular anterior segment images for those seeking eye care in emergency department settings.

Primary outcome measure

  • Sensitivity [ Time Frame: Day 1 ]
  • Specificity [ Time Frame: Day 1 ]
