Glaucoma is a serious eye disease that can lead to blindness and is challenging to detect early due to its lack of symptoms in the initial stages. In glaucoma patients, the optic disc (a structure in the eye) may become abnormally enlarged. This project seeks to develop and validate a computer-based tool for detecting early signs of glaucoma. The tool operates by guiding participants through a series of measurements, including eye-to-screen distance, blind spot size in various directions, and demographic details such as age, gender, ethnicity, and dominant hand. Each participant completes ten measurements at varying distances. The collected data is used to estimate optic disc size, and the consistency of these results is accurately evaluated. This innovative tool has the potential to significantly enhance early detection of glaucoma.
To ensure accurate results and support data analysis, we collect the following information from participants: Ethnicity: To explore potential differences across diverse backgrounds. Biological Gender: For examining potential variations related to physiological factors. Age: As certain eye conditions, including glaucoma, may vary by age group. Dominant Hand: To assess if handedness affects measurement consistency. Display Dimensions and Resolution: To ensure compatibility and accuracy of the tool’s measurements. This test neither collects nor stores participant private information (names, addresses, photos, etc). The participants age, biological gender, ethnicity, will only be used for Combined Data Analysis purposes
This study involves NO significant risks or discomfort. It is non-invasive, minimally risky, and relies solely on standard tools for measurement.
