OCT in AMD.

(i) OCT is able to describe accurately the CNV in AMD and its relation to the RPE and the neurosensory retina.
(ii) OCT reveals CNVs that on fluorescein angiography are masked by pooling of dye or by thin haemorrhages.
(iii) OCT revealed that cystoid macular edema is strongly correlated with the classic CNV.
(iv) OCT is crucial for the evaluation of the response to anti-VEGF intravitreal injections and the indication of retreatment.
(v) OCT brought significant contributions in understanding the pathogenesis and predicting the visual outcome in patients with GA.
