Ocular OCT retinal thickness map, right eye Time-domain OCT of the macular area of a retina at 800 nm, axial resolution 3 μm Spectral-domain OCT macula cross-section scan. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique for obtaining sub-surface images of translucent or opaque materials at a resolution equivalent to a low-power microscope.
The Heidelberg Retinal Tomography is a diagnostic procedure used in ophthalmology.The Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) is an ophthalmological confocal point scanning laser ophthalmoscope [1] for examining the cornea and certain areas of the retina using different diagnostic modules (HRT retina, HRT cornea, HRT glaucoma).

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) represents a powerful clinical tool for monitoring retinal physiology in patients. OCT uses low coherence interferometry to differentiate tissues within the eye and create a cross section of a living patients’ retina non-invasively. [21] It actually has greater axial resolution than AOSLO. [22]
[18] [19] This has allowed OCTA to obtain detailed images of retinal vasculature in the human retina [20] and become widely used clinically to diagnose a variety of eye diseases, such as age related macular degeneration (AMD), [21] diabetic retinopathy (DR), [22] [23] artery and vein occlusions, and glaucoma. [24] [18]
[9] [10] FA uses light to look at the retina and blood vessel development in the eye using a dye. [9] Today, a newer technology, optical coherence tomography (OCT) is used to detect foveal hypoplasia and does not require a dye. [9] OCT allows professionals to see the structures in the eye, usually the thickness of the retina and optic nerve. [11]
OCT Biomicroscopy is the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in place of slit lamp biomicroscopy to examine the transparent axial tissues of the eye. [1] Traditionally, ophthalmic biomicroscopy has been completed with a slit lamp biomicroscope that uses slit beam illumination and an optical microscope to enable stereoscopic, magnified, cross-sectional views of transparent tissues in the ...
If the view of the retina is not clear, imaging techniques such as ultrawide-field fundus photography, B-scan ultrasonography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) may help to identify a detachment. [8] [13] [14] Fundus photography provides a detailed view of the back of the eye, potentially revealing retinal tears or breaks.
