The prototype ophthalmic OCT instrument acquired OCT images of the retina with an axial resolution of 10µm within an acquisition time of 2.5 sec. The OCT imaging system was integrated with a slit-lamp biomicroscope for in vivo tomography of the anterior and posterior eye. The beam is directed into the eye using computer controlled galvonometric scanners, which can scan arbitrary transverse patterns. The beam focus is coincident with the slit-lamp image plane to permit simultaneous scanning and visualization of the eye through the slit-lamp or via a CCD camera. For tomography of the anterior eye, the microscope is focused directly on the structure, while for retinal imaging, a lens relay images of the retina onto the slit-lamp image plane. A computer provides real-time display of the tomogram, image processing, and data management.
