  abstract: This fifth volume of the series Lectures in Optics provides a comprehensive coverage of the field of Ocular Imaging, which is a broad field covering diagnostic instrumentation that aid into the production of biometric data and two-dimensional images of the eye. Aided by developments in digital imaging and computer processing, Ocular Imaging has known an explosive growth that has transformed ocular care in a very precise and accurate field, assisting both the diagnosis of several diseases, as well as the management, planning and postoperative follow-up of several surgical procedures, leading the way to refractive procedures such as laser corneal refractive correction of ametropia. The field can be so broad that no book can possibly cover the entirety of this field. In this book, we start with the diagnostics (such as ultrasound and optical ones) that focus on the anterior segment of the eye. Then, technologies such as Scheimpflug, slit scan, optical coherence tomography, Placido and color-coded elevation topography are presented, with applications such as pachymetry and the accurate measurement of corneal curvature, shape and biomechanics. Yet another field of imaging is aberrations measurement. Aberrometry is evaluating the optical system of the eye in its entirety and as such bears significant attention. Finally, the applications of ocular imaging are presented alongside the laser corneal surgical procedures for the correction of the refractive error of the eye.
