Abstract:
Optical coherence tomography (OCT),as a noncontact,innovative technology,can produce high-resolution images of ocular tissues.This technology is originally used for posterior segment in ophthalmology,which were widely utilized for the anterior segment at first.The development of anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) technology enables the precise visualization of anterior segment structure.Moreover,ultrahigh-resolution OCT (UHR-OCT) has been helpful for diagnosis and management of corneal and anterior segment diseases,including quantification of tear film for dry eye,authentication of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN),pterygium,keratoconus,traumatic corneal injuries,etc.Besides,UHR-OCT can be also used for planning and performing surgery for anterior segment,such as corneal transplantation,and monitoring of epithelial wound healing and postoperative course as well.Moreover,this technology can help understand the physiology and pathophysiology of the anterior segment structure.Therefore,this review will give a review on the application of UHR-OCT for diagnosis and management of corneal and anterior segment disorders.
