A Feasibility Study of Retinal Screening Using the RetinaVue 100 Hand- Held (Non-mydriatic) Camera in Outpatient Dialysis Centers
The purpose of this research study is to look at retinal abnormalities in outpatient renal
dialysis patients using the FDA approved RetinaVue 100 hand-held (non-mydriatic) camera.
dialysis patients using the FDA approved RetinaVue 100 hand-held (non-mydriatic) camera.
There are no studies evaluating (diabetic or non-diabetic) retinopathy in the renal dialysis
patient population (~300,000 Americans). Approximately 50% of this population has End-stage
Retinal Disease (ESRD) due to diabetes. Dialysis patients are among the most debilitated
patients, and thus, have even more barriers to receiving their recommended annual retinal
evaluation. The advent of the RetinaVue hand-held retinal camera holds great promise in this
population, as dialysis patients access medical care 3 times a week, for several hours at a
time at their dialysis clinic.
