English abstract:
Noninvasive corneal imaging is essential for the diagnosis and treatment control of various
diseases a ecting the anterior segment of the eye. This study presents an ultrahigh resolution
polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography instrument operating in the 840 nm wavelength
band that incorporates a conical scanning design for large field of view imaging of the cornea. As the
conical scanning introduces a dispersion mismatch depending on the scanning angle, this study
implemented variable, location dependent, numerical dispersion compensation in order to achieve
high axial resolution throughout the imaged volume. The corneal images were recorded in vivo in
healthy volunteers showing various details of corneal structures.
