Use of polarization-sensitive OCT to identify scleral fiber patterns in highly myopic eyes may help develop targeted therapies for scleral abnormalities and mitigate damage to surrounding neural tissue, according to research.
“Polarization-sensitive OCT (PS-OCT) is a functionally extended OCT that uses the polarization of light as the image contrast mechanism, in addition to the contrast mechanism of conventional OCT,” Kyoko Ohno-Matsui, MD, PhD, professor and chairperson of the department of ophthalmology and visual science at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and colleagues
