 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Early detection of eye disease is critical for preventing vision loss that affects more than 38 million Americans. Current diagnostic tools often reveal retinal changes only after vision loss has already occurred. Tests of visual function are limited by their subjectivity, and by the pooling of signals from tens to thousands of retinal cells. Tests of retinal structure are limited by the substantial anatomical variation among individuals, which makes early disease detection impossible without baseline measurements. In most cases structural tests can therefore detect only macroscopic changes that follow major cell death. These limitations could be overcome by a non-invasive method to detect chemical changes that precede cell death. For this purpose, we will develop two novel technologies, adaptive longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) correction and axially- resolved hyperspectral retinal imaging. These will be demonstrated in combination with ophthalmic adaptive optics, to characterize the spectra of idiopathic epiretinal membranes, with or without associated retinal traction or macular hole, as well as age-related macular degeneration and central serous retinopathy.

 描述（适用提供）：早期发现眼病对于预防影响超过3800万美国人的视力丧失至关重要。当前的诊断工具通常仅在视力丧失发生后才揭示残差变化。视觉功能的测试受其主观性的限制，以及从数十到数千个细胞中汇集信号。残留结构的测试受个人之间的实质解剖变异的限制，这使得没有基线测量的早期疾病检测不可能。因此，在大多数情况下，结构测试只能检测到主要细胞死亡后的宏观变化。这些局限性可以通过一种非侵入性方法来检测细胞死亡之前的化学变化。为此，我们将开发两种新型技术，即自适应纵向色差（LCA）校正和轴向分辨的高光谱残留成像。这些将与眼科自适应光学元件结合使用，以表征特发性前膜膜的光谱，具有或没有相关的视网膜牵引或黄斑孔以及与年龄相关的黄斑变性和中央浆液性视网膜病。
