Efficiency of Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography (iOCT) Hypothesis: The use of iOCT during surgery offers the advantage of a new view of the operating field, theoretically allows more precise performance and can also change decision-making mechanisms during surgery with more precise visual control of some surgical steps (incision adaptation, differentiation of healthy and pathological tissue, placement of the implant, graft, etc.) The disadvantage is the prolongation of the operation and thus the theoretical increase in possible complications related to the operation (bleeding, infection, patient subjective problems - pain, restlessness, poorer cooperation and the resulting other possible risks, such as unexpected patient movement). Aim: Determining the effectiveness of iOCT use in different types of eye surgery. Evaluation of advantages and disadvantages of using iOCT.
