Optical coherence tomography provides high-resolution images of the anterior segment (AS-OCT). When used as a measuring tool, corneal thickness, anterior and posterior chamber depths, anterior chamber diameter and chamber angle configuration are defined reproducibly. In terms of an optical biopsy by cellular imaging, tissue infiltration, deformation and deposits can be analysed microstructurally. A comparison of pre- and post-operative, as well as long-term follow-up of pathological findings are possible. Examination with AS-OCT is a no-contact procedure, and is well tolerated by the patient. The following instruments were used: Visante-OCT and Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec GmbH, Germany) and SS100 CASIA (Tomey Europe, Erlangen).

The therapeutic benefit of photocoagulation of juxta- and extrafoveal classic CNV has already been proven. According to our results, photocoagulation is an effective therapeutic approach in the treatment of age-related juxtapapillary CNV especially, in the occult form, when the fovea is threatened by or involved in the macular oedema.
