PURPOSE To review the parameters for quantitative assessment of the anterior segment and iridocorneal angle and to develop a comprehensive schematic for the evaluation of angle anatomy and pathophysiology by high-resolution imaging. METHODS The published literature of the last 15 years was reviewed, analyzed, and organized into a construct for assessment of anterior segment processes. RESUL...

CLINICAL CASE A 5 year-old child diagnosed with moderate anisometropic amblyopia secondary to primary cyst of iris pigment epithelium. He was evaluated with ultrasound biomicroscopy (BMU) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of anterior segment. DISCUSSION The OCT, although with some limitations, is a useful tool to study the anterior segment. It is probably more recommendable than BMU in t...

We report the case of a patient with recurrent acute angle-closure glaucoma who had undergone a previous laser iridotomy. Because the initial iridotomy was small, patency could not be determined by slit-lamp examination. Therefore, anterior-segment optical coherence tomography was used to evaluate the patency. Cross-sectional images showed the presence of a membrane with an anterior bowing conf...

Abstract: Optical coherence tomography is a non-invasive method of imagining the anterior and posterior segment eye. It commonly used in ophthalmic practice to diagnose monitor various pathologies eyeball. angiography (OCTA) useful tool visualize entire retinal choroidal microvasculature, allowing assessment perfusion without intravenous dye administration.

The review presents data on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in the diagnostics of diseases anterior segment eye. In addition to qualitative assessment pathological changes, method gives quantitative characteristics vascular density. OCTA is informative for vasculature evaluation burns, inflammatory diseases, ischemic injury, and intratumoral vessels visualization.
