Summary

This study tested a special eye imaging device (SPECTRALIS with Flex Module) that can take pictures of the back of the eye while a person is lying down. Researchers compared the quality of these images to those taken with a standard upright scanner in 88 healthy adults and people with retinal disease. The goal was to see if the new device works just as well, which could help patients who cannot sit upright for eye exams.
