TL;DR: The results showed that intraretinal RPE migrations occurred in various AMD stages, and that they occurred more commonly in eyes with serous and drusenoid PED.

TL;DR: A clinical grade prototype of posterior multifunctional Jones matrix optical coherence tomography (JM-OCT) visualized depth-localized birefringence in addition to conventional cumulative phase retardation imaging through local Jones matrix analysis, which indicates that the bireFringence imaging correctly measures a depth- localized single-trip phase retardedation of a tissue, while the conventional phase retardations can provide correct single- trip phase retardance only for some specific types of samples.

TL;DR: Multi-contrast OCT is more sensitive than standard OCT for displaying changes at the RPE-Bruch’s membrane band when there are small areas of RPE damage, which was found in eyes with age-related macular degeneration that had serous PED.

TL;DR: Melanin accumulation in the RPE layer at the location of granular hyper NIR-AF lesions was confirmed with MC-OCT imaging, and long-term follow-up showed the reversible nature of this accumulation.

TL;DR: This paper first mathematically model the PMD in JM-OCT and then derive a method to correct the effect, which is a combination of simple hardware modification and subsequent software correction.
