New eye camera could spot hidden signs of blindness

This study tested a new, non-invasive eye imaging method called hyperspectral imaging. It takes pictures of the back of the eye using many different colors of light to find details not visible with standard cameras. About 679 adults with healthy eyes or eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration took part. The goal was to see if this technique can detect unique light patterns linked to disease and help doctors diagnose eye problems earlier.
