Abstract
Optoretinography (ORG) is an emerging effort to noninvasively measure the functional responses of retinal neurons. We and other groups have previously shown that cellular-resolution coherent imaging of photoreceptors can reveal microscopic stimulus-evoked changes in the shape of photoreceptors. Such methods track the position of cellular features using phase differences among them. Here we present a novel method using low-cost OCT hardware that monitors the phase velocity of these features instead. The primary advantage of this system is elimination of the need to resolve and track single cells using costly and complicated optical and computational methods. This system may permit rapid, high-throughput measurement of retinal function healthy volunteers and patients.
