Abstract
Two of the most important modern diagnostic techniques for imaging the eye are the confocal laser ophthalmoscope, and optical coherence tomography. These are both versions of techniques developed for general microscopy. But investigation of the history of imaging techniques shows that many developments came from the area of ophthalmology. The history of some of these methods is presented, and some newer methods introduced, some of which may have potential applications in imaging of the eye.
