Back ground: Optimal coherence tomography (OCT) is a non contactnon invasive newer diagnostic tool that can perform tomography cross sectional imaging of biological tissues with <10 micron axial resolution using light waves near infrared beam. Methodology: Hospital based study conducted on 50 patients having macular diseases who attended DR RSPR Govt. regional eye hospital, Visakhapatnam. Each patient underwent a complete ophthalmic examination including best corrected visual acuity slit lamp biomicroscopy, IOP recording and fundus evaluation by indirect Opthalmoscopy with+90 D lens. In addition fundus photographs were taken. Routine blood examination and urine examination were done. Then the patients were subjected to evaluation of posterior segment by OCT. Results: Of the 50 cases on whom the OCT was done, majority (32%) were diabetic macular Oedema, followed by central serous Retinopathy (24%) and Epiretinal membrane was seen in 10% cases. Among the study participants, 7 patients presented with macular holes. Two patients had full thickness macular holes and five patients had lamellar holes. Conclusion: Diagnosis is confirmed by OCT gives additional information regarding pathological presentation, so help in the management.It may beneficially impact the visual disability by diagnosing a disease at an earlier stage.
