In this Healio Video Perspective from the virtual AAO annual meeting, Nadia K. Waheed, MD, MPH, discusses her presentation on using OCT angiography to predict the risk for progression of diabetic retinopathy.

Evaluating changes in the foveal avascular zone using OCT angiography to identify Alzheimer’s disease may be a quicker, easier and less invasive diagnostic strategy than traditional methods, according to a speaker.

OCT angiography may represent a shifting paradigm, overtaking the use of fluorescein angiography in the clinic, according to a presenter at the virtual OSN New York Retina meeting.

The consumption of energy drinks leads to acute, reversible changes in retinal vascular density parameters, according to a study presented at the virtual Euretina meeting.

Optical coherence tomography angiography can play “a pivotal role” in managing neurodegenerative disorders, though larger studies are needed to optimize its use for this purpose, according to findings published in Eye and Brain.

Intraoperative anterior segment OCT provides surgeons with heightened resolution of the structure of the eye and cross-sectional images of the anterior segment to provide extra detail during cataract and complex corneal surgeries.
