Webinar: OCT – what else can it do?
This session will cover some of the less common diagnostic uses of OCT in clinical practice, including how anterior OCT can be used in the fitting of specialist contact lenses, glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring and to assist in the differential diagnosis of anterior eye disease, particularly of the cornea. The webinar will also cover some additional techniques such as en-face imaging and OCT-A to demonstrate how this can be useful across a wide spectrum of diseases.
Learning outcomes
- Practitioners will recognise the role of OCT-A in macular disease detection
- Practitioners will recognise the role of anterior OCT in corneal disease, goniometry and contact lens fitting
