Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT), in conjunction with clinical examination, has become an important imaging modality to aid in both the diagnosis and treatment of ocular disorders. In this chapter, specific OCT findings of a variety of vascular diseases of the retina, choroid, and optic nerve are described through real clinical cases.
