Real-time in vivo ophthalmic imaging by ultrafast spectral optical coherence tomography

An improved spectral Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technique was used to perform cross sectional ophthalmic images at the exposure time of 64 μs per A-scan. To achieve exposure times less than 1ms the fast kinetics mode of the CCD camera was used. Static and dynamic real-time in vivo images of the human macula, optic disc and iris are presented.
