Wang D; Lin SCurrent Opinions in Ophthalmology 2016; 27: 111-117
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of the present review was to summarize the new developments in anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) for glaucoma. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent years have demonstrated significant advances in the measurement of glaucoma through the use of AS-OCT. Furthermore, a more widespread use of AS-OCT in the clinical study of various glaucomas warrants review, which includes angel assessment, trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal assessment, and assessment of the filtering bleb and tube. SUMMARY: AS-OCT was recently developed and has become a crucial tool in glaucoma clinical practice. AS-OCT is a noncontact imaging device that provides the detailed structure of the anterior part of the eyes. In this review, the author will discuss the various clinical applications of AS-OCT for glaucoma disease, such as angle assessment, trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal assessment, or assessment of the filtering bleb and tube.
