В третьей части обзора (первую часть см. РОЖ 2020; 13 (2): 99–104, вторую часть см. РОЖ 2020; 13 (4): 105–110) рассматривается структура наружных и внутренних слоев макулы, выявляемая при оптической когерентной томографии в норме, их патоморфология при эпимакулярных мембранах (ЭММ) и ее влияние на состояние зрительных функций при ЭММ.

The third part of the review (for the first part, see ROJ 2020; 13 (2): 99–104, for the second part — ROJ 2020; 13 (4): 105–110) discusses the structure of the outer and inner layers of normal macula in optical coherence tomography, their pathomorphology as well as its impact on the state of visual functions in epimacular membranes (EMM).
