Main Article Content
Abstract
Optical coherence tomography angiography (angio-OCT) is a new, noninvasive method capable of simultaneously imaging the retinal structure and microvasculature. Angio-OCT is an important tool for diagnostics and for monitoring patients with age-related macular degeneration and different vascular disorders of the retina. It makes it possible to identify early vascular changes and non-perfusion areas. Angio-OCT reveals disturbances in nerve head perfusion and can be a useful technique for diagnosing patients with glaucoma.
