Optical coherence tomography is a widely used imaging technique for diagnosing and monitoring the progression of many ophthalmic diseases. This technique provides real-time cross-sectional images of ocular tissues, including but not limited to the retina and optic nerve head. Optical coherence tomography is the preferred imaging study when diagnosing macular disease and monitoring the glaucomatous eye, but the utility of optical coherence tomography is not limited to these diseases. The technology has rapidly progressed to offer improved image resolution and acquisition time. This simple, noninvasive imaging modality can also be used to evaluate the choroidal vasculature through optical coherence tomography angiographic studies.This activity for healthcare professionals reviews the technology of optical coherence tomography, its application in various ophthalmic disorders, and typical findings. The activity also highlights the role of the interprofessional team in employing optical coherence tomography to improve outcomes for patients with various ophthalmic disorders.
