Purpose To report the usefulness of wide field imaging and angiography in patients with Coat’s disease. Methods In 5 consecutive patients, wide field imaging using scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and angiography (Optomap) was performed before treatment. The laser was performed on the basis of the wide field images. When the ophthalmologist considered that the treatment was complete, the imaging was repeated. After reviewing the images, the ophthalmologist decided whether further treatment was required. Results Among all patients, wide field imaging enabled to monitor the localization of laser treatment with respect to the vascular abnormalities and non perfusion areas displayed on angiography. In all cases, additional laser treatment was performed on the basis of image lecture although the treatment had been considered to be complete by the ophthalmologist. Conclusion Wide field imaging and wide field angiography enables to target laser treatment in Coat’s disease.
