Adaptive optics (AO) technology is often used to correct for wavefront distortions imparted when light travels through complex optical systems, enhancing image resolution and facilitating diffraction-limited optics. It has played a particularly prominent role in ophthalmic imaging, where retinal tissue imaging is limited by inherent aberrations in the eye. In this BioPhotonics article, we discuss the latest advances in OCT using adaptive optics (AO-OCT), and highlight some pioneering images taken of retinal structure at high speed.
