Retinal Imaging with Adaptive Optics Optical Coherence Tomography
Karen Hampson (University of Oxford)
When imaging the living human eye, even if a person has perfect vision, blur caused by ocular aberrations of the eye limits resolution. This blur rapidly fluctuates due to a number of factors, such as the impact of the heartbeat. Consequently, it is not possible using conventional methods, such as...
