Multimodal Equipment for Teleophthalmology Assessment (META)

We have developed a Multimodal Equipment for Teleophthalmology Assessment (META) device. This novel device is compact, portable and suitable for packaging and express delivery. With this device, there is a potential to implement a new concept of "hospital-at-home" eye care model. The present study is designed to validate the META device for future clinical usage and investigation. We will compare the performance of the META device with those provided by commercial devices in terms of image quality of optical coherence tomography (OCT), anterior segment and fundus camera, and evaluate the level of agreement in lesion detection and quantitative measurements between META and other commercial devices (e.g., Heidelberg Spectralis OCT, Haag-Streit BQ900 Slit-lamp imaging, Canon CR-2 fundus imaging, Zeiss IOL Master 500).
