Interpretation of optical coherence tomography

Abstract

Glaucoma is a progressive disease which can lead to blindness. Early detection is crucial to prevent further damage. Though glaucoma is more a clinical diagnosis but investigative tools like optical coherence tomography can help us diagnose suspicious cupping and early glaucoma. The newer modalities help us to prognostigate the disease by seeing for progression. This article will help the reader interpret OCT with better understanding.
