Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionized clinical observation of the eye and is an indispensable part of the modern ophthalmic practice. Unlike many other ophthalmic imaging techniques, OCT provides three-dimensional information about the imaged eye. However, conventional clinical OCT systems image only the anterior or the posterior eye during a single acquisition. Newer OCT systems have begun to image both during the same acquisition but with compromises such as limited field of view in the posterior eye or requiring rapid switching between the anterior and posterior eye during the scan. We describe here the development and demonstration of an OCT system with truly simultaneous imaging of both the anterior and posterior eye capable of imaging the full anterior chamber width and 50° on the retina (macula, optic nerve, and arcades). The whole eye OCT system was developed using custom optics and optomechanics. Polarization was utilized to separate the imaging channels. We utilized a 200kHz swept-source laser (Axsun Technologies) centered at 1040±50nm of bandwidth. The clock signal generated by the laser was interpolated 4x to generate 5504 samples per laser sweep. With the whole eye OCT system, we simultaneously acquired anterior and posterior segments with repeated B-scans as well as three-dimensional volumes from seven healthy volunteers (other than refractive error). On three of these volunteers, whole eye OCT and partial coherence interferometry (LenStar PCI, Haag-Streit) were used to measure axial eye length. We measured a mean repeatability of ±47µm with whole eye OCT and a mean difference from PCI of -68µm.
