OCT is a medical imaging technique that is now comprehensively used by ophthalmologists and optometrists to acquire high resolution images of the anterior segment and retina. This article is the first in a series that aims to provide the reader with an understanding of the use of this technique in clinical practice.


What you will learn:

  • Optometrists will have an understanding of when assessment of retinal structures using OCT is useful for clinical decision-making
  • Optometrists will have an evidence-based understanding of the principles of use of OCT to assess various structures within the retina
  • Dispensing opticians will have an understanding of the application of OCT for assessment of the retina so that they can provide information in a supporting role.
