Abstract
The evaluation of the optical coherence tomography (OCT) is based on the identification of differences in the relative reflectivity of different tissue layers and morphological changes in tissue structures. So the examination is able to localize and grossly demarcate inflammation in the vitreous cavity (by its dynamic analysis) or beneath retinal layers as well as detail retinal changes on the chronic phases of retinal disease like fibrosis, atrophy, or retinal edema.
