The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $256,296 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to develop new "Auto-Sensing, Instantaneous Adaptive Ranging Optical Coherence Tomography (OCTA)" technology. This technology aims to expand the imaging depth range of OCTA systems, enabling improved visualization of the critical peripheral retinal microvasculature. The project will leverage advances in integrated...
The National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded a $331,131 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) to develop and validate a high-resolution retinal imaging system with light flicker capabilities. This system aims to enable objective characterization of the photoreceptor response to light and quantify differences between normal and diseased eyes, particularly for patients with diabetic retinopathy. PSI,...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to New York University School of Medicine provides $673,747 to develop a visible-to-near-infrared spanning optical coherence tomography (OCT) system capable of imaging retinal structures at a resolution of up to 0.5 microns. The goal is to leverage this advanced OCT technology to study the spatiotemporal relationship of key biomarkers such as macular pigments and retinal pigment epithelium melanosomes, and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) provides $881,796 to Siloam Vision, Inc. to develop two advanced, laser-based, AI-enabled retinal imaging systems. The key innovations are: A wider field-of-view camera design that can be paired with either a scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) or optical coherence tomography (OCT) system, offering 2D or 3D imaging, respectively. This aims to address an unmet need in retinopathy...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $193,168 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to Duke University to develop a novel, auto-aligning hand-held optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) probe for routine and repeatable high-quality retinal imaging in infants and children. The research aims to address the challenges associated with obtaining consistent OCT and OCTA data capture in uncooperative pediatric patients. The expected outcomes include a set of...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $179,964 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) with a project period from March 1, 2025 to July 10, 2029. The project aims to develop innovative deep learning-based retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers to improve the diagnosis and management of optic neuropathies, a group of eye diseases that primarily target the optic nerve and frequently result in...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $417,162 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the University of Houston System to develop and apply a polarization-sensitive swept source optical coherence tomography (PS-SSOCT) system for 3D mapping of the birefringent properties of the posterior eye in a non-human primate model. The goal is to quantify changes in birefringence within the retina, optic nerve head, and lamina cribrosa in response to changes in intraocular...
