Abstract: Objective To investigate the application of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in traumatic macular disease.MethodsOCT examination was carried out and analyzed in 56 eyes of 56 cases with traumatic macular disease.ResultsThe OCT examination showed that there were 23 cases of whole macular hole, 3 cases of lamellar macular hole, 3 cases of epi-macular membrane, 8 cases of macular hemorrhage, 5 cases of serous neuroretinal detachment, 4 cases of hemorrhagic retinal pigment epithelium detachment, 4 cases of macular edema and 6 eyes of macular neuroretinal thinning.ConclusionOCT plays an important role in diagnosis, monitoring and investigation of pathogenic mechanisms for traumatic macular disease.

Key words: optical coherence tomography, traumatic macular disease
