Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

OCT image quality is necessary to provide accurate diagnostic information to ophthalmologists. The increasing resolution of imaging techniques will require ever more high standards of optical transmission through the cornea and tear film. Given that lubricant drops can improve optical transmission through the cornea, this study will attempt to quantify this. The primary objective is to assess the effect of cross-linked sodium hyaluronate on OCT image quality compared to the effect of blinking alone.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: sodium hyaluronate eye drops

the randomly allocated eye will receive sodium hyaluronate drops, followed by a repeat OCT scan; images are then evaluated for clarity by the masked assessor.

Other: sodium hyaluronate eyedrops
sodium hyaluronate eyedrops administered - route ocular -topical

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Clarity of retinal images obtained by Optical Coherence Tomography. [immediately after the administration of drops.]

    Signal strength of OCT scan
