GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Title: Transscleral Flood Illumination (TFI) add-on module for the rtx1 Adaptive Optics Retinal Camera

2. Background Information: The Transscleral flood illumination module for the rtx1 extends the imaging capability of the rtx1 Adaptive Optics camera. It provides a tool for investigating retinal anatomy, pathology and therapy at the microscopic scale beyond photoreceptors. This technology enables visualization of small retinal structures that are usually invisible in adaptive optics images. This technology could prove helpful in clinical trials and demonstrate capability in monitoring the progression of various ocular diseases at a cellular level before significant damage sets in
