Editorial Clinical Applications of High Resolution In-Vivo Retinal Imaging

which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The last two decades have witnessed major advancements in retinal imaging technologies thanks, in no small part, to improved light sources and detectors, adaptive optics, and high-speed computers. New research grade systems are continuously improving [1] and some have obtained a degree of user friendliness and robustness that have facilitated their transition to clinical use. Ultrahigh resolution commercial scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems are becoming commonplace in modern ophthalmic clinics where they provide often unprecedented image quality with resolving powers down to the level of single retinal cells in the living eye. Such richness in detail provides challenges and possible paradigm shifts, but already an enormous impact on improved diagnostics ha
