The goal of this study is to better understand how the back part of the eye-called the retina and the choroid-changes during pregnancy. Specialized photos of the eye will be taken at three different timepoints: early in pregnancy (first or second trimester), late in pregnancy (third trimester), and after delivery. This imaging is non-invasive and does not require contact with the surface of the eye. The photos taken will allow assessment of specific parameters, like blood flow and the health of specialized cells that support vision. Understanding how the eyes change during pregnancy may help guide how retina specialists understanding of retinal disease during pregnancy and better inform pregnancy outcomes.
