Purpose
The digitalization of medicine necessitates standardization in diagnostic procedures. With the surge in telemedicine, especially during the pandemic, advancements in technology have accelerated across all medical disciplines. Ophthalmology, historically at the forefront of technological innovation, has particularly benefited. This project aims to address limitations in current imaging techniques for anterior ocular segment pathologies by introducing an innovative imaging system, the Cornea Dome Lens (CDL).
Setting
ASST Spedali Civili di Brescia, Brescia, Italy
Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Milan, Italy
Methods
This prospective, multicentric observational study compares the CDL system with traditional slit lamp camera photography in evaluating ocular surface pathologies. Patients from two medical centers will undergo assessments including demographic data, medical history, and slit lamp examinations. Images has been acquired using both CDL and slit lamp camera systems. The study will evaluate repeatability, reproducibility, and operator independence of image acquisition. Data analysis will involve blinded evaluation of image quality, resolution, and color reproduction.
Results
The study will assess the efficacy of CDL in documenting ocular surface pathologies compared to slit lamp camera photography. It will analyze parameters such as conjunctival hyperemia grading and corneal staining. Additional outcomes include comparison of image resolution, repeatability, and reproducibility between the two systems.
Conclusions
The findings will contribute to improving diagnostic accuracy, monitoring, and treatment of anterior segment ocular pathologies.
