Researchers have developed a new method to perform optoretinography, an imaging technique that measures light-induced functional activity in the eye’s retina. The novel technique could help accelerate the development of new treatments for eye diseases such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
Their findings are published in the journal Optica in an article titled, “Velocity-based optoretinography for clinical applications.”
“Optoretinography (ORG) is an emerging tool for testing neural function in the retina,” wrote the researchers. “Unlike existing methods, it is noninvasive and objective, and provides information about retinal structure and function at once.
