Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has ushered in a transformative era in the domain of ophthalmology, offering non-invasive imaging with high resolution for ocular disease detection. OCT, which is frequently used in diagnosing fundamental ocular pathologies, such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), plays an important role in the widespread adoption of this technology. Apart from glaucoma and AMD, we will also investigate pertinent pathologies, such as epiretinal membrane (ERM), macular hole (MH), macular dystrophy (MD), vitreomacular traction (VMT), diabetic maculopathy (DMP), cystoid macular edema (CME), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), diabetic macular edema (DME), diabetic retinopathy (DR), drusen, glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), neovascular AMD (nAMD), myopia macular degeneration (MMD) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) diseases. This comprehensive review examines the role that OCT-derived images play in detecting, characterizing, and monitoring eye diseases.
