Abstract

With the advent of confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography, high-resolution multimodal imaging of the retina and optic nerve head can now be obtained routinely, providing new diagnostic clues in a variety of neuro-ophthalmological conditions. In this review, we provide an overview of these imaging advances and their clinical applications.
