TL;DR: AO-OCT provides a unique insight into PR morphology and shows potential to fill the gap between conventional OCT and histologic examination of the retina.

TL;DR: Subclinical signs of microangiopathy and neurodegeneration appear in parallel and are highly progressive even in the earliest stages of diabetic retinal disease.

TL;DR: Morphologische Untersuchungen der vitreomakularen Grenzschicht und der intraretinalen Architektur mittels dreidimensionaler hochauflosender Raster-OCT (optische Koharenztomographie) vor and nach chirurgischer Delamination von epiretinalen Membranen and der Membrana limitans interna (ILM) wurden praoperativ die Ausdehnung and Intensitat der Traktion der epireto

TL;DR: Polarisation-sensitive OCT reveals a correlation between specific drusen characteristics and the integrity of the overlying RPE layer, and Drusen diameter and configuration were significantly associated with RPE loss.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for detecting exudates and/or micro-exudates in the retina of an eye by imaging said retina with a polarisation sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique comprising the steps of a) illuminating the retina with light produced by a polarised light source, b) scanning the retina and collecting the reflection light or backscattered light generated in each scanned point in each eye using signal light collecting means, processing the interf erometric signals obtained in at least one polarisation channel, and determining the polarisation properties of said reflection light
