1 INTRODUCTION Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) represents an estimated 8% of all neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) cases in the Caucasian population,1-3 although recent evidence suggests prevalence is as high as 25%–30%.4-6 PCV in Caucasians is frequently associated with typical AMD features and its imaging characteristics resemble closely those of type 1 Macular Neovascularization (MNV).7 Given these similarities, some authors have suggested renaming polypoidal...

1. Intraoperative OCT: Technology and CharacteristicsAnterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) was described for the first time in 1994 by Izatt et al. as an essential tool for the clinical diagnosis and follow up of many corneal pathologies [1]. Thanks to its high level of resolution, AS-OCT provides a near-histologic cross-sectional and tomographic image of the tissues, allowing for the detailed evaluation of clinical conditions, and is able to impact medical and surgical decisions.
