Abstract
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a relatively new, high resolution, non-invasive imaging method which was applied for the first time in ophthalmology. It is rapid, easy to perform and analyze, very comfortable for the patients and it offers detailed information about the ocular structures, allowing early diagnosis and treatment in a variety of ocular conditions. The description of Spectral Domain OCT principle is followed by the presentation of the investigation capabilities, technical characteristics and examination modules belonging to the Spectralis device (Heidelberg Engineering). The contribution of this modern investigation tool in the clinical practice is illustrated with cases from the personal experience.
