Abstract

The chapter presents swept source OCT (SS-OCT) and SS-OCT Angiography images of epiretinal membranes (ERM. Detailed information on the inter-retinal pathology and choroidal thickness are discussed. Additionally, we discuss new developments in non-full-thickness macular holes and secondary ERMs observed with SS-OCT. A suggestion for a new classification of ERM and non-full-thickness macular holes is also presented.
