Abstract

Adaptive optics correction of the eye is important to imaging the earliest events in diseases of the eye in order to improve our understanding of these diseases and to facilitate earlier diagnosis and therapy. In addition there is the potential to deliver localized light based therapies to the eye with the use of AO.
