Sight is one of the most important senses that we use and need in daily living. Ms. Chan Hiu Tung Toby and her teammates used Anterior Segment optical coherence tomography (the AS-OCT) during our clinical placement and realised the resolution of captured images can really affect clinicians' judgment and diagnosis. Agent injection was used to improve the contrast of the intraocular structures but the team wanted to develop a non-invasive technique that is patient-friendly. Knowing that dA has been applied in OCT images of the posterior pole which is the back of the eye, they decided to use the same method for OCT images of the anterior part of the eye and enhance the image.
