Currently a cell-resolution map of the human cornea can only be obtained in the clinic with a confocal microscope in contact with the eye. Here the authors develop a full-field/spectral-domain OCT microscope (FF/SD OCT) to enable cell-level detail of the entire ocular surface, as well as blood flow and tear dynamics.
