Integrated or microscope-integrated intraoperative ocular coherence tomography (i2OCT or mi-OCT, respectively) has ushered in a new era of real-time enhancement in the surgical operating field. This cutting-edge technology has been readily adopted by corneal and retinal specialists to improve surgical outcomes and enhance the learning process. This guidebook provides an insightful look into the use of i2OCT in pediatric ocular surgery, a key area of ophthalmology.
The book discusses various applications of i2OCT, including:
– Case scenarios in pediatric retinal disease, making it a valuable resource for retinal disease specialists.
– Corneal lamellar keratoplasty, showcasing its versatility in different ocular procedures.
– Pediatric cataract surgery, demonstrating the simplicity and effectiveness of this technology in complex surgeries.
Even more innovative uses are highlighted, such as:
– Using i2OCT to identify the levator muscle in oculoplastic surgery, especially in reoperations, making it a game-changer for oculoplastic surgeons.
– Assessing the results of glaucoma drainage devices, providing a new tool for glaucoma specialists.
– Identifying extraocular muscles in strabismus re-operation to minimize tissue disruption during surgery.
The integrated ocular coherence tomography technology simplifies complex pediatric cataract surgeries, offering a great benefit to ophthalmologists. This comprehensive guide provides invaluable information to both early career and experienced pediatric ocular specialists, and offers a glimpse into the future for researchers and practitioners keen on incorporating i2OCT or mi-OCT technology into their repertoire.
