Learning Objectives
- Describe the fundamentals of OCT
- Demonstrate an understanding of retinal anatomy and features
- Discuss the clinical applications of OCT
- List the main OCT scan profiles
- List the criteria for selecting a particular OCT scan and the interpretation of the scan
- Recognise artefacts on an OCT scan
- Contrast fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and OCT
- Discuss the role OCT and OCT- angiography in the diagnosis and management of macular diseases, retinal vascular disease and glaucoma
- Explain how OCT scans complement information that is obtained by direct clinical observation and fluorescein angiography
- List the OCT findings that are to be expected in various macular conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular oedema, venous occlusion, vitreo-retinal disease, epiretinal membrane, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, pigment epithelium detachment, choroidal neovascular maculopathy central serous retinopathy, vitelliform dystrophy, macular telangiectasia, vitreomacular adhesion and vitreomacular traction
- Discuss the expected OCT findings that are associated with vascular disease, including diabetic macular oedema and retinal venous occlusion
- Explain the value of OCT-angiography in the diagnosis of retinal ischaemia
- Describe the applications of OCT-angiography in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma
- Identify the different patterns of loss in glaucoma that are evident with OCT.
- Compare and contrast visual field and OCT changes
- Explain the integration of the RNFL and GCL scans in the evaluation of the risk of glaucoma
