Ethnicity and ocular imaging
Bourne RREye 2011; 25: 297-300
There exist ethnic differences in the prevalence of many ocular diseases. The ocular structures affected by these diseases can be imaged with devices that have increased in complexity over recent years. The purpose of this review is to explore what we mean by the term 'ethnicity' and what we know of ethnic differences in the structures of the eye that are commonly imaged. Finally, the implications of these ethnic differences are discussed in relation to the detection and monitoring of ocular disease that involves imaging instruments.
