Purpose: To determine the effect of optical coherence tomography (OCT) B-scan density on the qualitative assessment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Methods: Data were collected from 59 patients imaged with Topcon 3D OCT-1000 (128 B-scans × 512 A-scans). Custom software was used to generate less dense subsets of scans: 1/16 (eight B-scans), 1/8 (16 B-scans), 1/4 (32 B-scans) and 1/2 (64 B-scans).

Histopathologic examination revealed an exophytic lesion made up of proliferated goblet cells with benign cytologic features.
