INTRODUCTION

“Performing fluorescein angiographies in pediatric patients often requires narcosis.... I hope less aggressive diagnostic equipment in clinics will be developed for children one day.” This is how I ended an interview in 2004 with a popular international journal. I would like to thank all those exceptional experts who – coordinated with great results by Doctor Angela Turtoro – contributed to this publication, which is a follow-up to the book, “OCT in età pediatrica” (OCT in Children), and one that the Italian ophthalmologic clinical panorama certainly needed.
