Ophthalmic Image Processing

  • Chapter
Noninvasive Diagnostic Techniques in Ophthalmology

Abstract

Visualization and documentation of ocular disease has been of great interest to scientists for many years. It was logical that as new photographic techniques and optical systems evolved they would be adapted to meet these scientific needs. The first practical commercial fundus camera was introduced by Nordeson1 in 1925. This camera consisted of an optical system that was focused on the retina and projected the image of the retina onto a photographic plate. To provide sufficient illumination of the retina to expose the photographic plates, the light from the illumination source was projected through a portion of the photographic optics.
