Atlas Of Optical Coherence Tomography For Approaching Macular Diseases

Retinal diseases are one of the leading causes of visual impairment and are presented in our daily clinical practice.Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is one of the most important ancillary tests when approaching and managing patients with macular disease.This atlas will help ophthalmologists to know essential things to expect to find when approaching patient with macular diseases. The atlas discusses main pathological findings including biomarkers along anatomical changes post treatment.We are living in the era of advanced multi-modal retinal imaging, including OCT, which aids not only in confirming and archiving macular diseases. OCT will reveal subtle pathological changes in clinical examination, and biomarkers contribute to visual prognosis and treatment plans and the ability to assess the efficacy of treatment when following up patients with macular disease.The advancement of social media made telemedicine accessible to all colleagues worldwide to share experience remotely; hence OCT contributed to easy sharing of clinical cases aiding in accurately approaching macular diseases. This atlas is powered by Syria ophthalmological society, which contains 230+ OCT images in about 200 pages covering OCT scans, normal OCT scans, pathological changes in OCT, and OCT changes in common macular diseases.This atlas will help ophthalmologists know essential things to expect when approaching patients with macular diseases. The atlas discusses main pathological findings, including biomarkers, along with anatomical changes post-treatment.Please note that this book won't and never replace individual clinical experience to individualize and tailor treatment for every patient based on clinical presentation, physician expertise, and available resources.Please forgive me if there are any spelling, grammar, or syntax mistakes as English is not my native language, and there are other copies of this manuscript in Arabic.For further assistance and information please contact me [email protected]
