The process of identifying potential health issues through retinal scans is surprisingly straightforward. By using advanced imaging technology that outlines the retina’s intricate layers—each just a micron thick—clinicians can detect subtle changes indicative of broader health conditions. However, to increase the accuracy and applicability of these findings, researchers require extensive data sets for comparison; in this instance, approximately two million anonymized retinal scans from Moorfields.
