Polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography as a tool to visualize the fiber direction of retinal nerves and peripapillary sclera

Polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) has been used to visualize the orientation of the nerves in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and to visualize the orientation of the collagen fibers in peripapillary sclera in retinas of healthy volunteers. Optic axis orientation image...
