Optical coherence tomography applications in pediatric ophthalmology
Salchow DJ; Hutcheson KAJournal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus 2007; 44: 335-349
In pediatric ophthalmology, test results may be limited by a child's ability to cooperate. Invasive and contact methods such as applanation tonometry, ultrasound biometry, and pachymetry are sometimes difficult to perform. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become a widely used noncontact method to obtain cross-sections of various ocular structures. In this review, we describe the principles and clinical applications of OCT, with special attention to pediatric ophthalmology.
