1. A system for imaging a region of interest of a retina of a subject comprising: a system configured for optical coherence tomography (OCT), such that OCT data related to the retina of the subject is collected; a system configured for retinal-birefringence-scanning (RBS) fixation detection; and, wherein, both the system configured for OCT and the system configured for RBS fixation detection are further configured to cooperate in a specified alignment, such that when the RBS fixation detection system detects alignment with a fovea of the eye, the OCT system will be aimed at the retinal region of interest, usually but not necessarily including a macular area.
