Abstract:
Optical imaging technology of ocular fundus,including fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA),optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF),is growing at an unprecedented speed and scale and is integrating into the routine clinical management of ocular fundus diseases,such as diagnosis,treatment,and mechanism study.While FFA allow us to observe the retinal and choroidal blood circulation,OCT and FAF are non-invasive,fast and quantifiable measurement; such techniques show even more unique advantages and are favored tools.All these retinal imaging technologies,together with a variety of retinal function assessments,bring us into the era of big data of ocular fundus diseases.All of these developments are the challenges and opportunities for the operator and user of these fundus optics imaging technologies.In order to improve its clinical applications and allocate resources rationally,we need to understand the optical properties of these retinal imaging technologies,and standardize diagnosis behavior.This is a continuous learning process needs to continue to explore.
