Foreword
Modern OCT technology generates high-quality images and improves visualization of the retina and choroid. Optical coherence tomography has been adopted by ophthalmologists all over the world, and it is mainly used for the study and treatment of posterior pole and macular diseases. Venera A. Shaimova and her colleagues brilliantly show here the possibility and the necessity to go beyond the central retina and to also use OCT imaging for the study and treatment of the retinal periphery disorders. OCT assessment and interpretation involves both a technical dimension and an intellectual aspect. Venera A. Shaimova and the other authors wrote this atlas with these facts in mind, to help and guide the clinician in assessing, classifying, and selecting
