Center for Ophthalmic Optics & Lasers (COOL)
Mission StatementThe mission of the Center for Ophthalmic Optics and Lasers (COOL) is to conserve, improve and restore vision through advances in laser and optical technology.
DescriptionThe Center for Ophthalmic Optics and Lasers (COOL) at Doheny Eye Institute, University of Southern California (USC) is a interdisciplinary research center focusing on the application of biomedical optics in clinical medicine. The center has special expertise in two areas: optical coherence tomography (OCT) and laser eye surgery. Among the various eye imaging technologies, OCT has the highest spatial resolution and allows noncontact cross-sectional visualization of internal structures only a few micrometers in thickness. The femtosecond laser and excimer laser allow surgeons to cut and reshape the eye with micrometer control. Using these 2 cutting-edge technologies, the physicians and scientists in the COOL laboratory are working together to diagnose eye diseases with greater accuracy and perform eye surgeries with greater precision.
COOL NEWS - Chunhui Jiang, MD
Chunhui Jiang, MD, performed research on OCT imaging of the anterior chamber angle while he was a fellow at the Doheny Eye Institute, University of Southern California. Dr. Jiang received his medical degree at the Medical School of Fudan University, Shanghai China in 2003. He continued his studies and work at the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University Shanghai, where he did his residency and retinal fellowship respectively. In 2009, he joined the COOL Lab as a research fellow supervised by Dr. David Huang. During his three months stay in COOL lab, Dr Jiang worked on the development and applications of anterior segment OCT, especially in the glaucoma patients, he is finalizing his research fellowship and going back to China to continue his work on research work using anterior segment OCT in glaucoma service at the Eye & ENT Hospital and also as a retinal specialist. The left image below was from the right eye from an 81-year-old Caucasian woman with bilateral primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The image showed the location of the shunt, patency of the tip and details of the inner entrance. The location is between the iris and the cornea. The tip is open. The site of the entrance was anterior to the Schwalb's line disrupting the continuity of the endothelium, and tissue proliferation was also found on both side of the inner entrance attached to the corneal endothelium. The distance of corneal endothelium covered by proliferation on both sides was measured.
