Abstract

The rapid development of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its ophthalmic applications has resulted in new systems that vary in performance and functionality providing in vivo three-dimensional volumetric reconstructions of both anterior and posterior segments of the human eye within unimaginable speed. Newer swept source OCT systems have made it possible to achieve OCT acquisition speeds of several million A-scans/s. Another direction of OCT development includes the introduction of adaptive optics to imaging of the posterior segment of the eye that allows correction of the eye’s static and dynamic aberrations, resulting in the achievement of volumetric cellular resolution retinal imaging. The purpose of this article is to present the various aspects of the development of OCT technology within the context of its ophthalmic applications, as well as, the impact of functional OCT.
