Abstract:

Angio-OCT is a new, noninvasive imaging technique that provides high-resolution, en-face images of the retinal, macular area and the optic nerve head. Angio-OCT could be applied to glaucomatous diagnosis and severity classification depending on measurement of capillary circulation in the optic disc and peripapillary retina, which first achieved anatomical level in the blood flow of optic disc analysis in vivo that provides evidence for the understanding of the pathogenesis in glaucoma and has important significance in vascular theory.
