Intraoperative OCT system may improve posterior, anterior segment surgeries
A spectral-domain OCT system integrated into a surgical microscope may improve the quality of posterior and anterior segment procedures, according to a study.In recent years, several research groups have developed similar devices to allow the use of OCT intraoperatively. The devices are intended to gain instant feedback of ophthalmic surgical maneuvers in the anterior and posterior segments. The technology can be used in surgical settings such as full-thickness macular hole, optic pit maculopathy, epiretinal membrane and retinopathy of prematurity.
