Imaging the RPE cell mosaic in volunteers’ eyes – ARVO video presentation

Research in retinal degenerative diseases, developments of new therapies, as well as clinical trials require precise information on pathological changes occurring at the level of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells.

A team of researchers and engineers at Paris’ Institute of Vision and Imagine Eyes experimented a new technique for imaging individual RPE cells.

To do so, they modified a commercial adaptive optics retinal camera (rtx1™) and examined the retinas of healthy volunteers. As a result, they acquired images of the RPE mosaic with short exposure times, and analyzed the spatial distribution of these cells across the macula.
