Visible Light Optical Coherence Tomography Reveals the Relationship of the Myoid and Ellipsoid to Band 2 in Humans.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We employ visible light optical coherence tomography (OCT) to investigate the relationship between the myoid, ellipsoid, and band 2 in the living human retina. Rather than refute existing theories, we aim to reveal new bands and better delineate the structures at hand.

Methods

An upgraded spectral/Fourier domain visible light OCT prototype, with 1.0-µm axial resolution, imaged 13 eyes of 13 young adult human subjects (23-40 years old) without a history of ocular pathology. The external limiting membrane (band 1) and band 2 edges were segmented. Reflectivity was examined along the inner segment (IS), defined as extending from band 1 to the band 2 center, and within band 2 itself.

Results

Images highlight a nearly continuously resolved extrafoveal internal limit
