Confocal Shear Wave Acoustic Radiation Force Optical Coherence Elastography for Imaging and Quantification of the In Vivo Posterior Eye

Retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), are the leading cause of blindness in the elderly population. Since no known cures are currently present, it is crucial to diagnose the condition in its early stages so that disease progression is monitored. Recent advances show that the mechanical elasticity of the posterior eye changes with the onset of AMD. In this paper, we pres...
