- Have contradictions to or an allergy to the ophthalmic dilating agents.
Other
- Have known diagnosis of severe glaucoma or severe cataracts; have a significant refractive error (more than 12 diopters \[D\] of spherical equivalent refraction); or have any ocular media opacity that prevents imaging of the retina (that is, severe cataract). Note: mild to moderate cataracts or vision correction with glasses or contact lenses are not exclusion criteria.
Who the study is looking for
- Participants who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation, including medical history and physical examination.
