MEASURING BIOMECHANICAL AND BIREFRINGENT PROPERTIES OF EYE TISSUE

Abstract: in certain embodiments, an ophthalmic diagnostics system includes a polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (ps-oct) device. the system also includes a memory having executable instructions. the system also includes a processor in communication with the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the ps-oct device to emit polarized light to a measurement location on eye tissue of a patient and generate ps-oct data based on the polarized light. the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine birefringent information for the measurement location based on the ps-oct data and to determine biomechanics information for the measurement location based on the ps-oct data. the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to determine a correlation between at least a portion of the biomechanics information and at least a portion of the birefringent information.
