Official Title: Proof of Concept Trial of a Novel Imaging System to Assess and Document Choroidal Reflectance in Infants for the Detection of Cataract and Media Opacities.
Brief Summary: Sensitivity and specificity of current screening methods for congenital cataracts in neonates is poor. This results in delayed diagnosis and management which can decrease the visual prognosis following cataract surgery. It also results in many false positives with resultant unnecessary healthcare costs in specialist paediatric ophthalmology services. The investigator has developed a new digital technique to improve the accuracy of screening for congenital cataract and this study will compare this new test with the current test performed.
