The Use of Optical Coherence Tomography as an Intraoperative Adjunct of Oculoplastic Surgery.

The advent of integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography (i2OCT) has opened the door for safer and more complex surgeries in the retina and cornea. However, to limit its use to just two subspecialties within ophthalmology is an opportunity lost for many other subspecialties. Here, we describe the use of i2OCT in oculoplastic surgery. It can be used in cases of severe symblepharon where the cornea is heavily involved, so that the surgeon is aware of the depth of the pannus when trying to remove it. It can also be used when the corneal planes are difficult to identify. In oculoplastic surgery the technology allows for identification of tissue planes when en face visualization is difficult due to developmental abnormalities and repeated surgeries. Our experience reflects some of the many uses of iOCT in ophthalmic surgery, highlighting its added value in surgical precision.
