How do you read an OCT for glaucoma?

OCT scans of the macula involve a strategy of six intersecting lines that intersect at the foveal center. Assessment of the macular region in glaucoma is necessary because over 50% of retinal ganglion cells lie in the macular region and hence it is the ideal region to detect early cell loss.

How do you read an OCT eye report?

An OCT image gives you layer by layer information of retinal tissue. So if we segment the OCT image into 5 layer-wise sub-segments, it becomes very easy to read and interpret the retinal pathology. And also just by looking at the diseased/damaged retinal layer, we can identify probable clinical disease.

How do you perform an OCT scan?

You simply place your chin into a chin rest and keep your eye open as you look at a target (often a blinking dot or a small picture). Then, without touching it, the OCT machine scans your eye.

What is optical coherence tomography used for?

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging technology for performing high-resolution cross-sectional imaging. OCT is analogous to ultrasound imaging, except that it uses light instead of sound. OCT can provide cross-sectional images of tissue structure on the micron scale in situ and in real time.
