The OCT-Leakage technology enables the detection of retinal fluid fluctuations and alterations in the blood-retinal barrier through a non-invasive method, contributing to the early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy.
Promoters:
Challenges Addressed:
The developments carried out as part of this project have made it possible, among other things:
- Evaluation of the blood-retinal barrier’s functionality using a non-invasive technique, replacing methods that could lead to severe adverse reactions.
- Frequent monitoring of the blood-retinal barrier’s function to assess new therapies for restoring its proper functionality;
Practical Benefits for Society:
The completion of the OCT-Leakage project delivered several significant benefits, includin
- Offering a non-invasive diagnostic technique with minimal discomfort for the patient, facilitating early diagnosis crucial to preventing the progression of diabetic retinopathy.
- Enabling frequent monitoring of the blood-retinal barrier, unlike invasive techniques whose restrictive safety protocols limit regular use.
