Flare Photometry in Uveitis Patients

ChromoLogic, LLC100 enrolled

Overview

This is a cross sectional study of a novel non-invasive optical flare photometer (OFAM). Patients meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will receive a standard eye examination including a slit lamp examination to collect ocular flare data. In addition to the standard eye examination, subjects will receive flare measurements using the OFAM device.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Establish OFAM algorithms for quantitation of ocular flare

OFAM algorithms for quantitation of ocular flare will be established by comparing the output of the OFAM device to the flare measurements obtained during the standard slit lamp examination.

Time frame: 3 months

Secondary Outcomes

Determine the impact that various potential confounders such as age and sex have on OFAM Measurements

OFAM data for various sub-groups (age and sex) will be compared in order to evaluate the degree to which each sub-group acts as a confounder for OFAM measurements.

Time frame: 3 months
