Prospective, Longitudinal Pilot Study: Daily Self-Imaging with Patient-Operated Home OCT in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate longitudinally the performance of the Notal Vision Home OCT (NVHO), comprising a spectral-domain OCT device for patient self-imaging at home, telemedicine infrastructure for automated data upload, and deep learning algorithm for automated OCT evaluation. The aims were to study the system's performance in daily image acquisition and automated analysis and to characterize the dynamics of retinal fluid exudation in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Design

Pilot prospective, observational longitudinal study.

Participants

Four individuals (mean age, 73.8 years) with nAMD (one or both eyes) undergoing anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy in routine clinical practice.

Methods

The participants performed daily self-imagi
