摘要：

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) represents a fast and noninvasive examination technique that generates two dimensional sections of the posterior pole in vivo. Although this method is now widely applied in, the diagnosis of various heterogeneous macular diseases; its role in patients with,a age-related-macular degeneration (AMD) is less well established. OCT allows for quantitative as well as qualitative assessment of various AMD phenotypes. Qualitative assessment comprises the evaluation of intra- or subretinal fluid, intraretinal cystoid spaces, and retinal pigment epithelial detachments. However, together with the clinical findings and fluorescence angiography, it can provide useful additional information including monitoring of treatment effects.
