Collagen Cross-linking in Keratoconus
Recruiting
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) devices are non-contact instruments that can measure the depth of scars, other causes of cloudiness of the cornea, and degree of corneal thinning in patients with keratoconus. Laser Custom Corneal Collagen Cross-linking (CXL) significantly decreases corneal aberrations and improves vision. This study will use OCT-guided setting for the lasers used in the corneal smoothing portion of the laser custom CXL procedure to assess the affect on visual outcomes.

OCT Angiography in Wet AMD
Recruiting
The primary goals of this study are to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (blood vessel mapping) to: 1. diagnose the presence of new blood vessels in wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) 2. evaluate patients undergoing treatment for wet AMD 3. determine if reduced flow to the choroid is a risk factor for developing wet AMD.

OCT in Rare Chorioretinal Diseases
Recruiting
This study will evaluate the total blood flow in the retina and choroid (structures in the back of the eye) by Doppler optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography. Angiography is mapping of the blood vessels. The purpose of measuring blood flow in the retina and choroid is to 1.) determine if rare diseases in these structures causes a change in blood flow compared to healthy eyes and 2.) find out if areas of changed blood flow line up with areas of damage that appear on conventional...

Observational Study of Corneal Opacities in Adults
Recruiting
A prospective observational study on corneal opacities (scar and stromal dystrophy) in adults (n=150) will be conducted at OHSU. The Optovue anterior segment OCT will be used to perform 3-D corneal scans. These scans will be used to assess opacity depth and measure corneal thickness (pachymetry), corneal topography (anterior and posterior), and epithelial thickness maps. The ultrahigh-speed MIT OCT prototypes will also be used when they become available. A comprehensive eye examination, Placido-... Read More

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in Uveitis
Recruiting
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machines are non-contact instruments that can provide micrometer (one one-thousandths) scale imaging of biological tissue. This allows excellent assessment of the white blood and inflammatory cells seen in uveitis, an inflammation of any or all parts of the uvea (iris, ciliary body, choroid).

Optical Coherence Tomography Guided Transepithelial Phototherapeutic Keratectomy
Recruiting
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machines are non-contact instruments that can measure the depth of scars and other causes of cloudiness in the front of the cornea. The purpose of this study is to determine whether OCT-guided settings for the lasers used for removal of corneal scars and other partial-thickness corneal defects result in improved vision in patients receiving these procedures.

Intraocular Lens Power Calculation After Laser Refractive Surgery Based on Optical Coherence Tomography
Recruiting
The long-term goal of this project is to utilize very high-speed optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology to guide surgical treatments of corneal diseases. OCT is well known for its exquisite resolution, but until recently it has not had sufficient speed to capture the shape of the cornea because of eye motion during OCT scanning. The development of Fourier-domain (FD) OCT technology has made the requisite speed possible. The objective of this project is to develop methods for imaging the... Read More
