Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can monitor human donor corneas non-invasively during the de-swelling process following storage for corneal transplantation, but currently only resultant thickness as a function of time is extracted. To visualize and quantify mechanism de-swelling, we present method exploiting nanometer sensitivity Fourier phase in OCT data to image deformation velocities. The technique was demonstrated by showing that osmotic flow through an intact epithelium negligible...

For any single anterior chamber cross-sectional (tomographic) imaging method, there is a practical compromise between image size and resolution. In order to obtain large field-of-view images of the whole high-resolution fine corneal layers, measurements by multiple devices are currently required.

The line field (LF) design choice for the lateral image formation mechanism (lateral format) has historically been a fraction of whole optical coherence tomography (OCT) field. However, as OCT technology develops, parallelised acquisition LF-OCT formats (LF-time domain (TD)-OCT, LF-spectral (SD)-OCT, LF-swept source (SS)-OCT) offers benefits and capabilities, which may mean it is now becoming more mainstream.
