N2 - Objective: To present a new imaging method for the anterior segment of the eye. Methods: Transscleral optical coherence tomographic images were generated in healthy volunteers using a slit-lamp-adapted prototype equipped with a superluminescence diode with an infrared wavelength of 1310 nm. Results: The optical coherence tomographic system used allowed penetration of human sclera in vivo and high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging of the anterior chamber angle and the ciliary body. Conclusion: The 1310-nm optical coherence tomographic image shows a significant potential as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for the anterior segment of the eye.
