Abstract
The development of functional retinal imaging is of great interest to clinical and experimental ophthalmology, because it should provide more sensitive tools for ocular diseases diagnostic that would go beyond current gold standard of simple evaluation of the static retinal morphology. In this presentation we will review our recent progress in measurements and interpretation of OCT-based optoretinograms (ORG) i.e., the paradigm of using NIR OCT to measure in vivo bleaching-induced changes in retinal morphology (transient changes in volume of individual neurons, or thickness of retinal layers). Specifically, comparison between different instrumentations used to acquire ORGs and between results acquired using clinical (human) and experimental (animal) systems will be presented. Additionally, intensity-based and phase-based ORG extraction framework will be presented. Finally, we will discuss our findings in the context of current understanding of measured process, being a result osmotically driven water movements between the photoreceptors, and other retinal neurons and its surroundings.
