Structure of the retina. The retina is a light-sensitive layer of nerve tissue lining the inner surface of the eye. The retina creates an image projected on its surface with help of the cornea and crystalline lens, and transforms it into nerve impulses sent to the brain.

Enhanced optical coherence tomography for anatomical mapping

A system, method and apparatus for anatomical mapping utilizing optical coherence tomography. In the present invention, 3-dimensional fundus intensity imagery can be acquired from a scanning of light back-reflected from an eye. The scanning can include spectral domain scanning, as an example. A fundus intensity image can be acquired in real-time. The 3-dimensional data set can be reduced to generate an anatomical mapping, such as an edema mapping and a thickness mapping. Optionally, a partial fundus intensity image can be produced from the scanning of the eye to generate an en face view of the retinal structure of the eye without first requiring a full segmentation of the 3-D data set. Advantageously, the system, method and apparatus of the present invention can provide quantitative three-dimensional information about the spatial location and extent of macular edema and other pathologies. This three-dimensional information can be used to determine the need for treatment, monitor the effectiveness of treatment and identify the return of fluid that may signal the need for re-treatment.

Label-free contrast enhancement for translucent cell imaging by purposefully displacing the detector

A method for imaging vertebrate translucent retinal structures includes imaging a translucent retinal structure at a first imaging plane in the retina with a light source focused at such first imaging plane, and detecting reflected light with a non-confocal off-axis detector, wherein the detector is axially displaced from a plane conjugate to the first imaging plane to a plane conjugate to a reflective layer deeper in the retina along a path of illumination from the light source. The method may employ scanning ophthalmic instruments, and enables an enhancement in contrast and collected intensity by axially displacing the image detector away from the object of interest to positions closer to conjugate to layers of strong retinal reflection, like the photoreceptors or the interface between the choroid and the sclera, that act as a diffusive screen. This improvement was found using a model that describes the source of the contrast in offset aperture and split-detector ophthalmoscopy by emphasizing the role of cellular refractive index change within the plane of illumination.

Compensating for polarization changes introduced by components with retardation in polarization-sensitive retinal scanning systems

An optical apparatus uses polarized light to interrogate birefringence properties of the retina to detect the fixation condition of the eye by sensing characteristic birefringence patterns of the retinal structures. Optical components, as well as optional additional components, interfere with the polarization measurements by introducing unwanted retardance which alters the polarization state of the light entering the eye and of the light reaching the detection system. Compensating retarders are provided to nullify the effect of unwanted retardance in the forward and return light paths so the polarization states of the light entering the eye and the light reaching the detection system are not contaminated by the effects of the unwanted retardance. Mueller matrices are used to mathematically calculate the parameters for the compensating retarders for the unwanted retardance. A variable retarder system may also be provided to compensate for the corneal birefringence of the eye via feedback control.
