Lasers in retinal imaging

Lasers were used in measuring the optical quality of the eye as early as 1965, but it was about 1980 that they really began to impact retinal imaging. This talk describes the advancements in retinal imaging that have occurred over the last 35 years and the role lasers played in this development.
