Objective To assess outer retinal layer maturation during late gestation and early postnatal
life using optical coherence tomography and histologic examination. Methods Thirty-nine
participants 30 weeks' postmenstrual age or older were imaged using a handheld optical
coherence tomography system, for a total of 102 imaging sessions. Foveal images from 16
participants (21 imaging sessions) were normal and evaluated for inner retinal excavation
and the presence of outer retinal reflective bands. Reflectivity profiles of central, parafoveal …
