Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can visualize the anterior chamber angle (ACA) in patients with narrow or closed angles. This non-contact method aids glaucoma assessment, especially when gonioscopy is challenging.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is primarily used for posterior segment imaging.
  • Assessing the anterior chamber angle (ACA) is crucial for diagnosing and managing glaucoma.

Observation:

  • The study prospectively evaluated the Zeiss Stratus OCT (model 3000) for anterior segment imaging in 26 eyes.
  • Patients with abnormal angle configurations (narrow, closed, plateau iris) and normal angles were included.

Findings:

  • OCT provided high-resolution iris configuration details in all patients.
  • The ACA was clearly visualized in eyes with narrow or closed angles.
  • Visualization of the ACA was not successful in eyes with open angles.

Implications:

  • Stratus OCT offers a non-contact, convenient method for assessing anterior chamber configuration.
  • OCT may assist in routine clinical assessment and treatment of glaucoma patients.
  • This technique is particularly useful when gonioscopy is difficult or not feasible.
