Abstract

Evolution of views on interpretation of the results of optical coherence tomography is discussed in the review. Information is presented on some contradictions of histological and tomographic data that caused a revision of existing terminology. A new consensus nomenclature suggested by the International Nomenclature for Optical Coherence Tomography Panel is discussed in detail.
