5 January 2024 | Yu Jeat Chong, Matthew Azzopardi, Gulmeena Hussain, Alberto Recchioni, Jaishree Gandhewar, Constantinos Loizou, Ioannis Giachos, Ankur Barua, Darren S. J. Ting
This review provides an updated overview of the clinical applications of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in ophthalmology. AS-OCT has revolutionized the assessment and monitoring of anterior segment structures, including the cornea, conjunctiva, sclera, anterior chamber, and iris. The review highlights the potential of AS-OCT in diagnosing and managing various anterior segment pathologies, such as conjunctival neoplasia, pterygium, keratitis, keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, and infectious/noninfectious keratitis. Additionally, it discusses the use of AS-OCT in preoperative planning and postoperative monitoring for corneal and refractive surgeries. Key features of AS-OCT, such as its technical aspects, corneal anatomy, and clinical applications, are detailed, emphasizing its role in providing high-resolution imaging and quantitative measurements. The review also explores the utility of AS-OCT in detecting and monitoring complications following corneal and refractive surgeries, such as graft rejection, interface fluid syndrome, flap displacement, and epithelial ingrowth. Overall, AS-OCT is recognized as a valuable tool for improving the accuracy and efficiency of anterior segment diagnostics and management.This review provides an updated overview of the clinical applications of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in ophthalmology.
