Oxidative Stress In Stargardt Disease, Age Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this study, markers of oxidative stress will be measured in the aqueous humour of stargardt disease, age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy patients compared to controls.

Detailed Description
People with Stargardt disease, age related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) have decrease in central vision from damage to photoreceptors. One of the mechanisms causing damage is high levels of oxygen in the eye. This damage produces specific biomarkers that can be measured in eye fluid (aqueous humor). In this study, these biomarkers will be assessed in people with Stargardt disease, age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, compared to controls.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Aqueous levels of oxidized adducts on protein (i.e. oxidative biomarker) in patients with stargardt disease, AMD, DR and controls [Baseline]
Baseline = Day of clinic visit for stargardt disease, AMD, DR patients and day of surgery for patients undergoing cataract surgery. No follow up is required.
