| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an instrument widely used in Ophthalmology, which uses near infrared rays and investigates ocular structure in detail. We developed new generation of OCT, polarization sensitive OCT which has several new functions. By detecting and analyzing the polarization caused by the ocular tissues, the new OCT can assess the internal quality and strength of ocular tissues. We tested the safety and effectiveness of this device in normal human subjects and then applied it to several ocular diseases and pathologies such as corneal diseases (keratoconus et al), eyes after glaucoma surgery, and pterygium.
