En face OCT is complementary Imaging procedure useful for the analysis of vitreoretinal disorders, including macular hole, epiretinal membrane, or retinal detachment. This procedure is informative before and after vitreoretinal surgery. Before surgery, characteristics of the retinal surface may be defined. After vitrectomy, en face OCT reveals changes in the retinal nerve fibers layer (dimples), residual epiretinal tissue, cystic changes, disruption of external limiting membrane and/or outer segment layer, or persistent subretinal fluid. This procedure helps us to refine high resolution imaging of each layer of the retina during the healing process of macular hole or retinal detachment.
