Macula OCTs | How to read the OCT & Common Pathologies

In this session, we continue the investigations series with a focused, practical introduction to macular OCT interpretation. We talk briefly on the science behind OCTs, and how to interpret macula OCTs. We also touch on several common pathologies, and how these will look on OCT. Key themes include: ⭐ How OCT machines work (time-domain, spectral-domain, swept-source, and OCT-A). ⭐ What a normal macular OCT looks like: vitreous, neurosensory layers, RPE, choroid, foveal contour. ⭐ Using thickness maps and ganglion cell layer analysis in practical clinic settings. ⭐ Systematic OCT reading: confirming patient data, checking scan timing, reviewing vitreous–retina–RPE–choroid, and comparing with old scans. ⭐ Recognising common pathologies including: DMO, AMD, CSCR, VMA/VMT, ERM, macula holes, RD and retinoschisis Take-home messages: 🌟 Always read OCTs systematically 🌟 The brightest, whitest line is your RPE — use it as your anchor for identifying pathology. 🌟 Fluid location matters: intraretinal vs subretinal vs sub-RPE helps narrow the diagnosis. 🌟 OCT interpretation becomes intuitive with pattern recognition — review old scans whenever possible. 🌟 Understanding normal anatomy is the key to recognising abnormalities quickly. 🔗 Join the WhatsApp group for live session updates: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KoTWgwUWL7D... 📝 Leave feedback for future teaching: https://forms.gle/DDBfq5cTLSBaUJnL6
