Abstract
Three methods of three-dimensional imaging of the vitreous and the fundus of the human eye are compared. Equations are derived for the theoretical depth resolution of stereophotogrammetry, scanning laser tomography, and scanning laser triangulation. Scanning laser triangulation provides superior depth resolution without requiring axial scanning. A description of a prototype scanning laser triangulator is given.
