Abstract
A method of imaging a retina of an eye includes combining an optical path of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imager and an optical path of a line scanning laser ophthalmoscope (LSLO) imager using a system of optics. The method also includes using a single detector to switch between an OCT mode and a LSLO mode and acquiring images of the retina while switching between the OCT mode and the LSLO mode.
