The eye, the photoreceptive organ used to perceive the external environment, is of great importance to humans. It has been proven that some diseases in humans are accompanied by fundus changes; therefore, the health status of people may be interpreted from retinal images. However, the human eye is not a perfect refractive system for the existence of ocular aberrations. These aberrations not only affect the ability of human visual discrimination and recognition, but restrict the observation of the fine structures of human eye and reduce the possibility of exploring the mechanisms of eye disease. Adaptive optics (AO) is a technique that corrects optical wavefront aberrations. Once integrated into ophthalmoscopes, AO enables retinal imaging at the cellular level. This paper illustrates the principle of AO in correcting wavefront aberrations in human eyes, and then reviews the applications and advances of AO in ophthalmology, including the adaptive optics fundus camera (AO-FC), the adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AO-SLO), the adaptive optics optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT), and their combined multimodal imaging technologies. The future development trend of AO in ophthalmology is also prospected. |
