OCT and Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy

Some new SD-OCT instruments (Spectralis HRA-OCT, Heidelberg Engineering, Inc., Heidelberg, Germany; Spectral OCT/SLO, Opko/OTI, Inc., Miami, FL) are equipped with this method, which simultaneously captures digital funduscopic images (infrared, red free autofluorescence, FA and ICGA) and OCT images from the same light source. This enables clinicians to correlate the two images pixel by pixel and allows a detailed topographic survey and tomographic retinal structures.70 In AMD, these devices are used especially in studies attempting to correlate OCT and autofluorescence in GA.71-72
