title: [Role of optic coherent tomography in monitoring the efficiency of laser treatment for the exudative form of involutional macular degeneration].
abstract: Optic coherent tomography was used to monitor three cases of successful laser retinal coagulation in involutional macular degeneration followed by transsudative retinal detachment of the pigment epithelium and neuroepithelium to give rise to a subretinal neovascular membrane. The technique was shown to be of high informative value in providing an accurate localization of abnormal macular changes and in monitoring their state. The application of optic coherent tomography could reduce the number of control angiographies and, in a number of cases, to obviate a necessity of performing angiographic studies.
