Intraoperative OCT provides information on otherwise unseen features in highly myopic eyes
VIENNA — Intraoperative OCT is a technology in evolution, with benefits for research and limited but significant advantages for daily surgical practice, according to one surgeon speaking at the Advanced Retinal Therapy meeting. Looking at OCT during procedures such as membrane peeling, vitreomacular traction and macular hole surgery gives no meaningful information because no measurable changes occur in the retina. However, when dealing with highly myopic eyes, iOCT may provide information not given by fundus imaging, Ramin Tadayoni, MD, PhD, said.
