Abstract
Swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) permits a complementary study of retinal and choroidal lesions and diseases, including intraocular tumors. Due to the longer wavelength (1050 nm) employed, SS-OCT allows the visualization of the internal configuration of the tumors, and even the extent of the lesion in small and medium tumors, up to a thickness of around 500 μm in pigmented lesions and up to 1600 μm in non-pigmented lesions [1, 2]. The high-quality images and resolution obtained with SS-OCT allow a better study of the tumors, helping at the time of diagnosis and showing complementary information such as intraretinal edema, subretinal fluid, photoreceptor atrophy, and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy or detachments, which will guide physicians to the best treatment.
