OCT in Rare Chorioretinal Diseases

You may be eligible if

• Subject-Level Criteria:
• Inclusion a. Diagnosis of retinal or choroidal disease
• Exclusion
• 1. Inability to give informed consent.
• 2. Inability to complete study tests within a 30 day period
• 3. Significant renal disease, defined as a history of chornic renal failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplant.
• 4. A condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in the study (e.g. unstable medical status including blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and glycemic control).
• 5. Blood pressure \> 180/110 (systolic above 180 OR diastolic above 110). If blood pressure is brought below 180/110 by anti-hypertensive treatment, subject can become eligible.
• 6. Women of child-bearing potential: pregnant or lactating or intending to become pregnant within the next 12 months due to unknown safety of fluorescein angiography.
• Study-Eye Criteria:
• Inclusion
• a. Diagnosis of retinal or choroidal disease
• Exclusion
• 1. Inability to maintain stable fixation for OCT imaging.
• 2. An ocular condition is present that, in the opinion of the investigator, might affect or alter visual acuity during the course of the study (i.e. cataract)
• 3. Substantial cataract that, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to decrease visual acuity by 3 lines or more (i.e. cataract would be reducing acuity to 20/40 or worse if the eye was otherwise normal).
• 4. Media opacity or otherwise that would prevent either fixation or ability to obtain adequate images as determined by the examiner.
