Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a cross sectional and observational pilot study. The study sample will include participants with or without any refractive errors. The central and peripheral eye length and the thickness of the choroid will be analysed using the Lenstar LS 900 and the Triton Swept source OCT, respectively. The agreement between the readings obtained by both the instruments in two separate visits will be studied. The amount of time between visits will be between 1 to 40 days. The time between the visits will be determined based on the scheduling availability of the participant and the scheduling availability of equipment.

Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria

Statistical methods / analysis
The eye length and choroidal thickness measurements will be compared between two different days using repeated measures ANOVA.
Prior studies have shown that the within-subject standard deviation for choroidal thickness was about 13 micros. Assuming that the clinical significance is CT is 10 micros, a minimum sample of 15 Participants up to 40 participants will be required to determine if there is a significant difference of 10 ± 13 micros between repeat sessions with 80% power at the 5% level of significance. No adjustment is made for dropouts due to the short nature of the study.

Summary
Brief summary
This study aims to determine the repeatability of two investigational instruments ( the Lenstar LS 900 and the Triton Swept-source OCT). The instruments are used in optometric research to assess the length of the eye and the thickness of the vascular layer of the eye ( the choroid). To achieve this we wish to take measurements using the instruments over two separate days. The study sample will include a minimum of 15 participants to up to 40 participants with or without refractive errors, we wish to assess the repeatability of the instruments by taking two sets of measurements on two different days.
