Abstract

Ocular coherence tomography (OCT) is one of the most ubiquitous technologies utilized to analyze the posterior segment. It is a non-contact, real-time, imaging technology that generates cross-sectional images of the retina and choroid. OCT is particularly well suited to diagnose and manage posterior uveitides as demonstrated in this chapter by case examples of punctate inner choroidopathy, serpiginous choroiditis, multifocal choroiditis, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, and multiple evanescent white dot syndrome.
