Optical coherence tomography angiography: A new tool in glaucoma diagnostics and research

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new modality in ocular imaging which provides high resolution view of the vascular structures in the retina and optic nerve head. This technology has the advantages of being noninvasive, rapid and reproducible. OCTA is becoming a valuable tool for evaluating many retinal and optic nerve diseases. This article provides a brief introduction to the technology and its application in the field of glaucoma diagnostics.
