N2 - BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has gained increasing relevance for follow-up after the treatment of macular diseases especially after anti-VEGF therapy. Therefore it seemed reasonable to develop standardized evaluation strategies and OCT examination guidelines for Stratus OCT III. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Basic guidelines for the Stratus OCT III examination of macular diseases were developed. The first part contains basic advice for the OCT examination with respect to the examiner, patients, image quality, movement artefacts, algorithms, archiving and interpretation of OCT images. The second part consists of the relevance and indications for OCT examination especially in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), subgroups of AMD and follow-up after treatment. The third part demonstrates a brief outlook on future developments, such as the digital integration method (DIM), which provides identical scan localization in follow-up and eliminates any movement artefacts. CONCLUSION: The application of standardized routine scanning and analysis protocols in Stratus OCT III for macular diseases and follow-up examinations provides an optimized, time-saving and comparable use of OCT. Therefore, the relevance and quality of OCT is increased for routine use in outpatient departments, hospitals and also for clinical studies.
