OCT angiography alone demonstrated superior sensitivity in detecting glaucomatous changes in the optic disc and macula compared with OCT and OCT angiography combined, according to a study published in Clinical Ophthalmology.

INDIANAPOLIS — While it is known that choriocapillaris flow deficits can be a biomarker for diabetes, recent data presented at Academy 2024 indicated that prediabetic patients have lower flow deficit.

Faster initial capillary density loss was associated with more rapid visual field progression and increased risk for event progression, prompting researchers to suggest the addition of OCT angiography for risk assessment in glaucoma.

NEW YORK — In a presentation at OSN New York, Sarah H. Van Tassel, MD, discusses the expanding roles of retinal imaging and functional tests as useful tools in glaucoma.

Despite the promise of OCTA as a valuable tool in the evaluation of diabetic retinopathy and its complications, challenges remain and more research is needed to standardize its use in clinical trials, according to a published review.

In this video from the ESCRS meeting, Marcus Ang, MBBS, PhD, speaks about his pioneering work with OCT angiography for the cornea and anterior segment.

In his keynote Euretina Lecture, delivered at the virtual Euretina congress, SriniVas Sadda, MD, highlighted the critical role of the choriocapillaris in age-related macular degeneration.

OCT angiography could represent a novel and helpful early biomarker for diagnosing and monitoring multiple sclerosis progression, as shown in a study presented at the virtual Euretina congress.

OCT angiography can detect vessel density loss associated with glaucoma, according to a review of relevant published studies.
