“…For example, optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used to examine foveal pit morphology (Chui, Zhong, Song & Burns, 2012, Dubis, Hansen, Cooper, Beringer, Dubra & Carroll, 2012, Dubis, McAllister & Carroll, 2009, Hammer et al, 2008, Wagner-Schuman, Dubis, Nordgren, Lei, Odell, Chiao, Weh, Fischer, Sulai, Dubra & Carroll, 2011, Wilk, Dubis, Cooper, Summerfelt, Dubra & Carroll, 2016, Wilk et al, 2014b) and the avascular zone (Braaf, Vienola, Sheehy, Yang, Vermeer, Tiruveedhula, Arathorn, Roorda & de Boer, 2013, Samara, Say, Khoo, Higgins, Magrath, Ferenczy & Shields, 2015, Wilk et al, 2016). In addition, adaptive optics (AO) imaging enables direct visualization of individual rod and cone photoreceptors (Dubra, Sulai, Norris, Cooper, Dubis, Williams & Carroll, 2011, Li, Tiruveedhula & Roorda, 2010, Putnam, Hofer, Doble, Chen, Carroll & Williams, 2005, Wilk et al, 2014b, Zhang, Godara, Blancob, Griffin, Wang, Curcio & Zhang, 2015). While there has been success in measuring peak cone density in normal populations (Putnam et al, 2005, Wilk et al, 2016, Wilk et al, 2014b, Zhang et al, 2015), the presence of nystagmus in a range of retinal diseases often precludes high-resolution imaging (Langlo, Patterson, Higgins, Summerfelt, Razeen, Erker, Parker, Collison, Fishman, Kay, Zhang, Weleber, Yang, Wilson, Pennesi, Lam, Chiang, Chulay, Dubra, Hauswirth, Carroll & ACHM-001 Study Group, 2016, Wilk et al, 2014b).…”
