Summary
This study aims to develop and test a robotically assisted imaging system for the front of the eye. About 93 adults with eye complaints like redness or pain will have their eyes examined by emergency doctors using both standard methods and the new robotic system. The goal is to see if the robot helps doctors detect eye problems that need a specialist's attention.
