[New retinal imaging techniques].

Retinal imaging techniques progress rapidly. In many cases, the diagnosis of macular diseases can be done by the combination of fundus photography (color, monochromatic or autofluorescence images) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Fluorescein or indocyanine green angiography remains useful when the other exams are not conclusive. Fundus angiography can be coupled with OCT. Other new investigation methods have appeared such as wide-field retinography on the one hand, or adaptive optics on the other hand which allows visualising photoreceptors in a very small field. Screening for diabetic retinopathy is based on color fundus photos. When the diagnostic of diabetic retinopathy is obvious, a more comprehensive fundus examination is warranted to decide on the treatment and follow-up.
