A quarter century ago, we were limited to a macroscopic view of the retina inside the living
eye. Since then, new imaging technologies, including confocal scanning laser
ophthalmoscopy, optical coherence tomography, and adaptive optics fundus imaging,
transformed the eye into a microscope in which individual cells can now be resolved
noninvasively. These technologies have enabled a wide range of studies of the retina that
were previously impossible.
