Summary OCT ‐A with OCT « en face » allow a good imaging and location of vessel abnormalities in MacTel2. OCT ‐A reflects the progressive transformation of the perifoveolar capillaries and detects the presence of CNV s. There are still difficulties to analyse the link between the different layers of the retina & the choroid due to the frontal section of OCT ‐A. There is a need for 3D imaging. A new symptomatology is described on OCT A in CSC as abnormal dark and white lesions. OCT B, C and multimodal imaging are mandatory in addition to OCT A to diagnose non neovascular retinal and choroidal CSC lesions. However, OCT A is very helpfull in the detection of abnormal choroidal neovascular membrane in CSC patients. In CSC , signs on OCT ‐A must be interprete with caution and compare with multimodal imaging OCT « En‐Face ». The main contribution in CSC of OCT ‐A is for CNV detection.
