Abstract: Glaucoma is the second blindness disease in the world which can lead to irreversible vision loss. Abnormal anatomy of anterior segment of the eyeball is strongly associated with the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Anterior\|segment optical coherence tomography (AS\|OCT) is an noninvasive, non\|contact scanning tool which can provide multiple quantitative measurements from anterior segment. Therefore it has unique advantages compared with other traditional examinations. The article aims to give a review on the latest applications and progress of AS\|OCT in glaucoma such as angiography\|combined AS\|OCT,  postoperative evaluation of glaucoma and AI\|assisted diagnosis etc.
