Neue adaptive Optiken für die ophthalmologische Bildgebung und Funktionsprüfung: Untersuchung visueller Funktion und Dysfunktion auf Einzelzellebene
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
A new Emmy Noether-Research group for advanced adaptive optics instrumentation for fundamental neuroscience and clinical applications, the AO-Vision-Laboratory, has been established at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Bonn. Although a delay in system development was introduced due to legal regulations for medical devices, we could meet the originally planned research aims with cost neutral term extensions. In proof-of-principle experiments, we demonstrate the capabilities of cone-targeted, single-cell retinal function testing, with important implications for high-resolution imagery and their interpretation in clinical scenarios. We show that the human trichromatic mosaic can be successfully mapped psychophysically, and uncover the role of eye micro movements in spatial vision tasks. Detailed anatomical and functional characterizations of the human fovea, the centre of the human retina, were carried out. A new clinical software/hardware interface (IGUIDE) has been developed that will boost AOSLO imaging in the clinic. Important research partnerships have been established locally, nationally and internationally, that promise exciting new avenues for the continuation of micro-psychophysics research within the research landscape in Germany and abroad.
