For structural diagnosis, examining the optic nerve head, peripapillary region, and retinal nerve fiber layer using ophthalmoscopy or photography remains important. With the development of OCT technology, objective, quantitative, and statistical evaluation of structural change in glaucoma has become possible aiding in its diagnosis. Additionally, the enhanced sensitivity and specificity of OCT in detecting glaucomatous changes have made it possible to identify preperimetric glaucoma that standard automated perimetry has yet to detect. In this lecture, the usefulness of OCT in glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring will be shared with the audience.
Optimizing Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) interpretation in glaucoma is crucial for improving patient care by enabling more accurate diagnosis, monitoring of disease progression, and personalized treatment plans for each patient. The process involves ensuring high-quality scans with the updated OCT technology, understanding the limitations of the current and previous technology, and incorporating OCT data with other clinical findings like fundus photos, anterior OCT, etc.
