Revolutionary Imaging Technique for Detecting Eye Diseases and More

Researchers at the University of Kent have developed a new eye imaging technique that combines two imaging systems to detect diseases like glaucoma and diabetes. This non-invasive method allows doctors to view cross sections of the eye from any angle. A prototype is being trialed in New York, and the team is exploring other diagnostic uses. The technology uses optical waves, avoiding X-rays or radiation, and can be applied to various tissues. It promises more comfortable and accurate eye tests and will soon be widely available.
