  • Primary Open Angle Glaucoma/Glaucoma suspect/Ocular Hypertension (Glaucoma)
  • Down's syndrome (DS)
  • Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
  • Optic Neuritis (ON)
  • Healthy subjects (Controls)

is now complete but not completely analysed. The results from Glaucoma and AMD have now been published in collaboration with Novai Ltd, a start-up based on DARC Technology  (https://www.novai.co.uk/). DARC with AI was found to be predictive of disease progression in all 3 conditions.
