Before the era of OCT, evaluating the macula was possible only with the slit lamp biomicroscopy using a contact or noncontact precorneal lens. Barring exceptionally observant people like Donald Gass, ordinary mortals usually failed to detect the subtle vitreoretinal relationships and changes taking place at each layer of the retina. A lot was left to imagination and speculation. To further the understanding of the pathology, the dependence on fundus fluorescein angiography was unreasonably high. The advent of OCT has revolutionized the practice of the vitreoretinal specialty. Over the years, the advances in the technology of OCT have also been very rapid, enabling us to get a near‐perfect optical section of the retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and the choroid.
