High-resolution imaging of retinal disease
We are recruiting subjects for a study that investigates retinal disease using a new laboratory-based camera that can resolve individual cells in the retina. We are looking for subjects above the age of 20 years who have one of the following retinal diseases: retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration, or glaucoma. Compensation is $25/hour for each hour of participation.
Habitual contact lens comfort and symptomatic subject database
Do your eyes ever feel uncomfortable while wearing contact lenses? Answer our survey to tell us more about your discomfort and, if you're interested, we will contact you to participate in future contact lens studies.
