In vivo vitreous imaging using optical coherence tomography (Conference Presentation)

Transparency of ocular structures affects contrast in the retinal image and has an impact on visual quality. Vitreous constitutes the largest volumetric component of the human eye, thus it contributes to the intraocular scattering. The vitreous can contain subtle opacifications causing an increase in scattering and a reduction in vision. We report three-dimensional enhanced depth imaging of the anterior vitreous with SS-OCT. We show visualization of anterior vitreous opacities (floaters). We also demonstrate the quantification of vitreal opacities with respect to the age of the subjects.
