Optical Coherence Tomography Of The Anterior Eye Segment

Optical coherence tomography is a noninvasive, high-resolution imaging method that can be used to visualize ocular structures. Optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment is being evaluated as a noninvasive diagnostic and screening tool for detecting angle-closure glaucoma, for presurgical evaluation, surgical guidance, and for assessing complications following surgical procedures. It is also being studied as a tool to evaluate the pathologic processes of dry eye syndrome, tumors, uveitis, and infections.
