Fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy permits in vivo assessment of retinal metabolism but has remained limited by insufficient cellular resolution in the human eye. Here we present adaptive optics-enhanced fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy (AOFLIO), a method for single-cell-resolved, in vivo structural and metabolic imaging of the human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Through real-time correction of ocular wavefront aberrations, precisely synchronized adaptive optics reflect...
