Summary
This study tests a new handheld eye scanner (Theia 1) against an existing one to see which takes better pictures of children's retinas. Researchers will scan 30 healthy adults and children to compare image quality and field of view. The goal is to improve diagnosis of eye diseases like glaucoma and retinal problems in infants.
