Adaptive optics (AO) is a powerful method for correcting dynamic aberrations in numerous applications. When applied to the eye, it enables cellular-resolution retinal imaging and enhanced visual performance and stimulation. Most ophthalmic AO systems correct dynamic aberrations up to 1-2 Hz, the commonly-known cutoff frequency for correcting ocular aberrations.

- - This study aimed to explore large somas presumed to be displaced retinal ganglion cells (dRGCs) in the living human retina, focusing on their presence and characteristics in both healthy individuals and those with glaucoma.
- - Researchers used advanced imaging techniques on eight subjects to measure the density, size, and distribution of these somas across different retinal locations, noting significant differences between healthy individuals and glaucoma patients.
- - Findings indicated that these somas are likely dRGCs, showing a high susceptibility to glaucoma-related damage, particularly in areas affected by arcuate defects in glaucoma patients.
