Optical coherent tomography (OCT) can detect granular lesions at retinal pigment epithelium level in the early disease stage and subretinal lesions between the retinal pigment epithelium and Bruch’s membrane (Fig. 9.7) reflecting histopathological features (Whitcup et al. 1993). OCT may be useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of the progression or regression of intraocular lymphoma with retinal involvement (Liu et al. 2012). Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is also useful in the assessment of disease activity (Casady et al. 2014) (Fig. 9.8).
