Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness and visual impairment worldwide. Structural en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an innovative imaging technology that has recently attracted interest because of its potential for assessing AMD features. We conducted a comprehensive review of its application in AMD. In neovascular AMD, structural en face OCT can detect exudative activity, monitor the neovascularization area, study the choroid in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and visualize neovascular membranes in pigment epithelial detachments. Moreover, in nonneovascular AMD, this study provides details on geographic atrophy and drusen, the identification of intraretinal retinal pigment epithelium migration, and the detection of different patterns of outer retinal tubulations. Our study revealed that structural en face OCT can provide relevant information on patients with AMD.
老年性黄斑变性（AMD）是导致全球失明和视力损伤的主要原因。结构面光学相干断层扫描（OCT）是一种创新的成像技术，因其在评估老年性黄斑变性特征方面的潜力，最近引起了人们的兴趣。我们对其在 AMD 中的应用进行了全面回顾。在新生血管性黄斑变性中，结构性环面 OCT 可以检测渗出活动、监测新生血管区域、研究多形性脉络膜血管病变中的脉络膜，以及观察色素上皮脱落中的新生血管膜。此外，对于非新血管性黄斑变性，本研究还提供了有关地理萎缩和色素沉着的详细资料，可识别视网膜内视网膜色素上皮的迁移，并检测视网膜外小管的不同形态。我们的研究表明，结构性全脸 OCT 可以为 AMD 患者提供相关信息。
