Summary
We have developed a prototype of a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope that incorporates adaptive optics to correct for the wavefront aberrations of the eye and those induced by the optical system. Two corrector devices were tried out in the experiments: a membrane deformable mirror and a liquid crystal spatial light modulator. We obtained high-resolution images of different parts of the retina with and without the wavefront correction. We also explored alternative adaptive optics configurations to improve on the imaging performance of the system.
