The intraoperative visualization of the retina opens new surgical and diagnostic possibilities. The anterior segment surgeon can assess the anterior segment (Fig. 10.1), the posterior segment surgeon can assess the retina and pathologic structures during surgery (Fig. 10.2) and the paediatric ophthalmologist can perform an OCT of children in general anaesthesia (Fig. 10.3). The companies Zeiss (Germany) and Haag-Streit (Switzerland) have developed a surgical microscope with integrated OCT. These microscopes are only available as floor microscopes.
