Research summary
There is increasing evidence that examining our eyes can tell us a lot of information about our health, and systemic diseases. Our plan is to compare the images taken of the back of eyes of women who have endometriosis with those of women who don’t. We want to study what eyes can reveal about endometriosis by analyzing the retinal images from a simple noninvasive eye scan, that is already being routinely used to provide immediate clinical information in other groups of patients (eg. diabetic eye screening).
