| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive scanning method that provides images with high-resolution of the macula. B-scan OCT produces longitudinal cross-sectional images providing retinal layer analysis while en face OCT provides frontal surface and in depth images. Objectives: to assess the role of en Face OCT scanning in evaluation of some macular disorders like vitreo-macular interface and age related macular degeneration disorders. Methods: En Face OCT was used to scan the macular area of each patient, then the results were illustrated in the form of pathological signs that En face OCT can detect and confirmed by B-scan OCT and OCT angiography. Results: In this study 30 eyes of 24 patients; 14 females and 10 males were examined. Their age ranged from 26 to 83 years. Mean age was 64 years. 17 eyes with epi-retinal membranes and 13 eyes with AMD with en face OCT can detect multiple pathological signs. Conclusion: En face OCT can detect many useful signs if it is used solely, but it is much better to use it in combination with B-scan OCT. | ||||
