Abstract

Adaptive optics (AO) is an insightful tool that has been increasingly applied to existing imaging systems for viewing the retina at a cellular level. By correcting for individual optical aberrations, AO offers an improvement in transverse resolution from 10-15 μm to ~2 μm, enabling assessment of individual retinal cell types. One of the settings in which its utility has been recognised is that of the inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), the genetic and clinical heterogeneity of which warrants better cellular characterisation. In this review, we provide a summary of the basic principles of AO, its integration into multiple retinal imaging modalities and its clinical applications, focusing primarily on IRDs. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive summary of AO-based cellular findings in IRDs according to their associated disease-causing genes.
