Revised classification of the optical coherence tomography outer retinal bands based on central serous chorioretinopathy analysis

Conclusion: Our patients' OCT findings support the current standard that Band 3 is an outer retinal structure and that Band 4 represents the retinal pigment epithelium/Bruch complex. Confusion exists regarding whether the interdigitation zone extends halfway up or for the full length of the outer segments, and the hyporeflective band between Bands 3 and 4 has yet to receive an appropriate term. We therefore propose a modification to the IN•OCT Consensus classification by renaming the trilaminar hyporeflective, hyperreflective, and hyporeflective bands between Bands 2 and 4 as the outer segment–interdigitation zone complex consisting of the inner, middle, and outer segment–interdigitation zone, respectively.
