Abstract
This is a comprehensive review of the principles and applications of adaptive optics (AO) in ophthalmology. It has been combined with flood illumination ophthalmoscopy, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, as well as optical coherence tomography to image photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), retinal ganglion cells, lamina cribrosa and the retinal vasculature. In this review, we highlight the clinical studies that have utilised AO to understand disease mechanisms. However, there are some limitations to using AO in a clinical setting including the cost of running an AO imaging service, the time needed to scan patients, the lack of normative databases and the very small size of area imaged. However, it is undoubtedly an exceptional research tool that enables visualisation of the retina at a cellular level.
