Summary En Face OCT and OCT Angiography are two innovative diagnostic modalities which were adapted for the diagnosis, therapeutic decision and observation of the evolution following conservative management in ocular oncology. En Face OCT is particulary useful for (1) The definition of the extend of serous retinal detachment and the documentation of its variations (2) The definition of the internal anatomical structure of unpigmented choroidal tumors (3) The definition of the limits of flat and diffused choroidal melanomas in order to define the target volume of the irradiation. Angio‐ OCT in ocular oncology is mainly used for the definition of retinal vascular lesions observed in radiation induced optic neuropathy and radiation induced maculopathy. This allows a better definition of the therapeutic strategies with anti‐ VEGF drugs in order to preserve visual function.
