And Function

The choroid provides up to 70 % of blood and oxygen to the eye. Pathological changes of this vascular tissue may lead to malnutrition of the retina and therefore be involved in the pathogenesis of numerous retinal disorders. Swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) is a new development of a non-invasive imaging technique that uses a tunable laser source with a higher wavelength light than conventional spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT). This enables visualisation of tissues below the retinal pigment epithelium. Thanks to SS-OCT’s ultrahigh speed and ultrahigh resolution it is possible to assess choroidal layers as well as to automatically create 3D maps of its thickness and volume. This review is to discuss how SS-OCT has improved our understanding of choroidal anatomy and function in various retinal and chorioretinal diseases. In future, detailed evaluation of choroid may play a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of various retinal diseases.

Swept Source Oct

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-speed and non-contact optical imaging technology widely used for noninvasive cross-sectional imaging of biological objects. Two main OCT technologies have been developed: time domain and Fourier domain technologies. The latter can be further divided into spectral domain OCT, which uses a broadband light source and a spectrometer as a detector, and swept source OCT, which employs a quickly-rotating laser source. Advances in OCT technology have made it one of the most helpful devices in ophthalmic practice. Fourier OCT has revolutionized imaging of the posterior segment of the eye, as well as of anterior structures and has enhanced the ability to diagnose and manage patients. It provides high-resolution information about the tear film, contact lens (CL), a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the anterior eye that is important in contact lens fitting, and allows possible eye surface changes while wearing contact lenses to be monitored. Potential swept source OCT technology applications include industrial processes of lens design and quality control. In this paper, we describe clinical applications and outline a variety of multifunctional uses of OCT in the field of refractive error correction with contact lenses.
