About this study

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.

Non-invasive method of acquiring cross sectional imaging of tissues using the coherent property of light

Other names: OCT

Primary outcomes

  1. Ability to achieve good quality retinal images

    Time frame: 30 minutes

    Retinal images with signal strength > 6 and in which retinal layers can be measured
