Eye scan could replace risky brain pressure surgery

NCT ID NCT04046523

Summary

This study is testing a new, non-invasive way to measure pressure inside the skull (intracranial pressure). Researchers will use a special video camera to record the back of the eye (retina) in 90 people who already have a standard pressure monitor surgically placed for medical care. The goal is to see if the eye scan can provide the same pressure information without the risks of surgery, anesthesia, or direct contact.
