OCT Casebook: Getting the most out of your OCT

It is about nine months since my colleagues and I based at the RNIB low vision centre in London took delivery of a Heidelberg Spectralis OCT (figure 1). Most of us were new to OCT use and, since then, we have developed our skills, improved the quality of data captured, and now routinely scan most patients. Over the coming months, we aim to share this experience and describe some of our successes as well as some of our initial mistakes. Though we have access to some patients with very severe, and sometimes rare, eye disease, we also have seen those without disease and very much want this series to be of value to readers of all levels of experience.
