Article Abstract
Real time, high-speed image stabilization with a retinal tracking scanning laser ophthalmoscope (TSLO) enables new approaches to established diagnostics. Large frequency range (DC to 19 kHz), wide-field (40-deg) stabilized Doppler flowmetry imaging was demonstrated in initial human subject tests. The fundus imaging method is a quasi-confocal line-scanning laser ophthalmoscope (LSLO). The retinal tracking system uses a confocal reflectometer with a closed loop optical servo system to lock onto features in the ocular fundus and automatically re-lock after blinks. By performing a slow scan with the laser line imager, frequency-resolved retinal perfusion and vascular flow images were obtained free of eye motion artifacts. Normal adult subjects and patients were tested with and without mydriasis to characterize flow imaging performance.

Imaging the living human eye requires high-speed and light-capture efficiency of photons returning from the eye to increase the signal-to-noise ratio while minimizing light exposure. Here, we report the optical design of a high-speed imaging approach applied to a line-scanning laser ophthalmoscope with extremely high optical efficiency. Utilizing the asymmetry involved in scanning a line through a slit pupil and collecting light scattered from a target with the full pupil, we construct an asymmetric scanning system, delivering essentially diffraction-limited performance while projecting almost all light from the source onto the target and collecting 98% of the light returning from the target onto the detector.

Purpose: To evaluate adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AO-SLO) features and identify their multimodal retinal imaging characteristics using AO-SLO, swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and color fundus photography in patients undergoing surgery for epiretinal membrane (ERM), and to provide valuable insights into the mechanism underlying postoperative ERM progression.
Methods: Patients with ERM underwent multimodal retinal imaging following surgery, including color fundus photography, SS-OCT, and AO-SLO. AO-SLO features were characterized, and their corresponding multimodal retinal imaging findings were analyzed.

The occlusion of the short posterior ciliary arteries (SPCAs), a severe yet infrequent ocular vascular pathology, becomes particularly uncommon when it coexists with paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM). We report a rare instance involving a middle-aged male who experienced an occlusion of the posterior ciliary short artery alongside paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM). A 48-year-old male patient presented with a sudden loss of vision in the upper left visual field and a slight decrease in visual acuity.

In response to central nervous system (CNS) injury, tissue-resident immune cells such as microglia and circulating systemic neutrophils are often first responders. The degree to which these cells interact in response to CNS damage is poorly understood, and even less so, in the neural retina, which poses a challenge for high-resolution imaging in vivo. In this study, we deploy fluorescence adaptive optics scanning light ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) to study microglia and neutrophils in mice.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of permanent vision loss in the elderly, particularly in higher-income countries. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging is a widely used, non-invasive technique that complements structural imaging in the assessment of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) integrity. While optical coherence tomography (OCT) remains the gold standard for retinal imaging due to its high-resolution cross-sectional visualization, FAF offers unique metabolic insights.
