Abstract

Adaptive optics (AO) fundus imaging is an optoelectronic technique allowing an improvement of an order of magnitude of lateral resolution of retinal images. Currently, its main applications in ophthalmology span from photoreceptor to retinal pigment epithelial cells and vessels, each of them being affected by specific diseases. Technological and image processing improvements are expanding the scope of its medical applications. Here we will review some of the current and envisioned applications of AO in clinical practice.
