Diagnostic Possibilities in Ophthalmological Diseases Using Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography

In this pilot study we want to investigate morphological features acquired by the novel image modality and gain information regarding disease pathomechanism, development and future possible influence on disease management for patients affected by those diseases.
