Abstract:
We demonstrate an application of high-speed swept source optical coherence tomography for vessel visualization in the anterior segment of the human eye. The human corneo-scleral junction and sclera was imaged in vivo. Imaging was performed using a swept source OCT system operating at the 1050nm wavelength range and 100kHz A-scan rate. High imaging speed enables the generation of 3D depth-resolved vasculature maps. The vessel visualization method revealed a rich vascular system in the conjunctiva and episclera.
