OCT Interpretation Masterclass: From the Macula to the Optic Nerve

A structured, presentation-led masterclass on optical coherence tomography (OCT) interpretation for the modern ophthalmology practice. The session walks through the fundamentals of OCT physics and scan protocols, then systematically covers common pathologies across the posterior segment — diabetic macular oedema, age-related macular degeneration subtypes, epiretinal membranes, vitreomacular traction, and glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Each pathology is presented with annotated high-resolution scans, key diagnostic features, and practical pitfalls in interpretation.

The session also reviews recent updates in OCT-A technology and its role in vascular disease assessment. Interactive Q&A segments throughout, with a focus on building a reproducible, systematic approach to reading scans that participants can apply immediately in their clinics. Suitable for ophthalmologists, optometrists, and residents preparing for the MMed (Ophthalmology) examinations
