The laser scanner can create high-resolution 3D cross-section images of the retina including photoreceptors and fine capillaries. While current scanners are only able to assess and diagnose the cause of dead retinal cells after vision is already lost, Sarunic’s scanner allows ophthalmologists and optometrists to detect damage and changes to photoreceptors.
