His minimal vision loss tells some of the story, but a high-resolution optical imaging device developed by Ohio State University researchers showed in stark detail that cells in the boy’s retinas are missing – “blasted away” by the laser, his ophthalmologist explained.

His minimal vision loss tells some of the story, but a high-resolution optical imaging device developed by Ohio State University researchers showed in stark detail that cells in the boy’s retinas are missing – “blasted away” by the laser, his ophthalmologist explained.

What is this device that was developed there?

An OCT:

The damage came into clearer view when Doble imaged the retinas with his device, called an adaptive optics-optical coherence tomography-scanning laser ophthalmoscope​
