Adaptive Optics Technology Likely To Spur Sight-Saving Interventions, Usher In New Era Of Eye Disease Research, Diagnosis And Treatment
Scientists have reported that the tiny light-sensing cells known as rods have been clearly and directly imaged in the living eye for the first time. Using adaptive optics (AO), the same technology astronomers use to study distant stars and galaxies, scientists can see through the murky distortion of the outer eye, revealing the eye's cellular structure with unprecedented detail...
