Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The extraordinary advancements in OCT technology from Huang’s and Fujimoto’s first description in the 90s allow today a histology-like anatomical description of the retina. The progressive increase in the resolution and speed of the OCT instruments has lead to a paradigm shift in the clinical management and evaluation of macular diseases.
This special issue is aimed at highlighting the recent developments of OCT and OCT-derived techniques, along with the role of high-resolution OCT in macular disease, from the valuable biomarkers of disease progression to the insights on macular disease pathogenesis.
Contributions include a broad scope of research, for instance, recent technological developments, novel OCT-derived techniques, and fundamental and clinical studies.
Dr. Alexandra Miere
Guest Editor
