ATLAS Optical Coherence Tomography of Macular Diseases and Glaucoma

by Amod Gupta, Vishali Gupta, Mangat Ram Dogra

This book, ATLAS Optical Coherence Tomography of Macular Diseases and Glaucoma, discusses optical coherence tomography (OCT) of macular diseases and glaucoma. Development of fundus angiography techniques contributed a great deal in our understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms and the pathology of the blinding and the benign retinal disease. A great body of work by the ocular pathologists provided the necessary clinicopathological correlates of the retinal disease. The emergence of OCT in the recent years has changed forever, the way we ‘look at’ or shall we say ‘look through’ the retina. The OCT provides, in real time, high-resolution crosssectional images of the macula very similar to obtaining in vivo histopathological sections. In this ‘Atlas’, the authors have attempted to share their experiences of Stratus OCT (Tm) in various macular disorders where they found it helpful in diagnosing and monitoring the response to various therapies and interventions and above all identifying the correct therapeutic approach in a given patient. For ease of comprehension, the book provides with brief case summaries, fundus photographs, fluorescein angiography and the OCT images and the follow up images for most of the patients that the authors share with the readers.
