Can OCT Imaging Detect Early Open-angle Glaucoma? - Eye Health Experts

Описание: Can OCT Imaging Detect Early Open-angle Glaucoma? Are you curious about how eye doctors detect early signs of glaucoma before vision loss occurs? In this video, we’ll explain how advanced imaging techniques help identify subtle changes in the eye’s internal structures. We’ll cover what Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is and how it works to produce detailed images of the retina and optic nerve head. You’ll learn about the importance of measuring nerve fiber layer thickness and examining the optic nerve’s shape, which can reveal early damage caused by glaucoma.

We’ll also discuss recent improvements in OCT technology, such as spectral-domain and swept-source OCT, which provide higher resolution images for more accurate detection. Additionally, we’ll explain how OCT findings complement other tests like intraocular pressure measurements and visual field exams to give a complete picture of eye health.

While OCT is not used as a screening tool for everyone, it plays a vital role in early diagnosis and ongoing monitoring for those at risk. Understanding these imaging techniques can help you stay informed about your eye health and the importance of regular eye exams. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and comprehensive eye care.
