Abstract
The advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology has greatly enhanced our understanding of vitreoretinal diseases; it has become a routine diagnostic imaging method for the evaluation of vitreoretinal abnormalities and injuries in adult and pediatric patients. The use of OCT has recently been extended beyond the offices and clinics to perioperative and intraoperative settings. The new development in high-resolution and high-speed spectral domain OCT, along with the improvement in portability, has made the device more valuable than ever before. Our article summarizes the current development of the portable OCT devices in clinical, perioperative, and intraoperative settings in the management of vitreoretinal diseases.
