      L’imagerie ophtalmologique actuelle permet de découvrir précocement les modifications physiopathologiques, de mieux comprendre les mécanismes pathologiques et de les expliquer de façon didactique à nos patients, pour renforcer notre action thérapeutique. Très richement illustrée, cette deuxième édition actualisée et enrichie, présente pour chacune des régions anatomiques oculaires, les avantages et les limites des différents systèmes d’imagerie en précisant leurs indications et leurs complémentarités en intégrant les avancées technologiques récentes. -La cornée est explorée efficacement par les systèmes optiques (OCT, topographie, microscopie spéculaire…). yy L’angle irido-cornéen et la périphérie rétinienne sont explorés par les appareils optiques avec des limites de pénétration que l’échographie de très haute fréquence (UBM) permet de dépasser. -La région maculaire, la papille et les fibres optiques sont accessibles aux images dites « en face » (rétinographie, angiographie, OCT « en face » et, plus récemment, OCT-angiographie), complétées de façon optimale par les images « en coupe » (OCT, échographie). -Le diagnostic des tumeurs oculaires et leur surveillance font intervenir différents types d’exploration (photographie, angiographie, échographie, UBM…). Leur place et leurs indications respectives sont exposées de façon stratégique et didactique. L’imagerie oculaire est de plus en plus présente dans les structures de consultation et quelques centres lui sont spécifiquement dédiés. De nouvelles applications sont développées au bloc opératoire, notamment grâce à la technique de la réalité augmentée.
