| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, we used multifunctional optical coherence tomography (OCT), that is a combination of polarization sensitive OCT and OCT angiography, to evaluate the three dimensional distribution of chorioretinal melanin in vivo human eyes. 1) We conducted objective measurement of choroidal melanin contents and established the objective diagnostic methods of sunset glow fundus appearance in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. 2) We evaluated intraretinal migration of retinal pigment epithelial cells in age related macular degeneration and confirmed origin of the clinical retinal autofluoresceine image. From these study, we confirmed the clinical usefulness of multifunctional OCT for retinal disease.
