Macular edema. Diagnosis and detection.
The aim of the chapter is to provide a practical but exhaustive guide in detecting macular edema and to describe its features depending on the retinal condition which cause it. The most useful imaging techniques and tools (Biomicroscopy, retinography, Optical Coherence Tomography, Fluorescein/Indocyanine-Green Angiography) will be analysed in order to identify the best diagnostic algorithm in each pathology. At the end of the chapter a summary table synthesize what previously widely described.
