The role of OCT in DME.

(i) The major contribution of OCT in DME is the identification of hyaloidal-macular traction, establishing the indication of pars plana vitrectomy.
(ii) OCT allows the detection of subclinical macular edema, with possible therapeutical implications.
(iii) In DME there is a correlation between macular thickness measured by OCT and visual acuity.
