Abstract

This handbook serves as a practical guide for general ophthalmologists and residents to navigate the evolving world of retinal OCT. It begins by simplifying the fundamentals of OCT reading and interpretation, providing a systematic approach for confident diagnosis. Special focus is given to vitreoretinal interface disorders, highlighting how OCT uncovers subtle tractional changes. Common retinal diseases like diabetic macular edema and AMD are explored through OCT patterns, enhancing clinical decision-making. The handbook also delves into subretinal pathologies, emphasizing key imaging clues beneath the surface. Finally, it introduces newer advances in OCT technology, preparing readers for the future of retinal imaging. Designed to be concise, accessible, and clinically oriented, this resource aims to strengthen interpretation skills and improve patient care.
