Detailed Description
Optical coherent tomography (OCT) is a device used to achieve cross-sectional imaging of tissues. It is often used in ophthalmology and also has application in dermatology, cardiology and other specialities. Usually, in adults, a table-top device is used necessitating the transfer of patients to the location of the device. In children a hand held device is used meaning the device can be taken to the patients' location. To facilitate/ help design a future study, this study's aim is to assess the feasibility of achieving retinal imaging in older people who are recovering from hip fracture surgery using a hand held device.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Ability to achieve good quality retinal images [30 minutes]
Retinal images with signal strength > 6 and in which retinal layers can be measured
- Ability to achieve imaging without causing pain [Immediate]
Patient reported pain during acquisition of images over their baseline. Scale of 0 - 10 where 0 is no increase in pain and 10 is severe increase in pain
