When I consulted a optometrist for treating glaucoma, he mentioned about something called OCT. What kind of technology is it? How is it effective in Glaucoma treatment?

Optical or ocular coherence tomography is an imaging technology used to diagnose glaucoma and other eye conditions like macular degeneration. It involves taking a high resolution image of ocular tissues. These images can be used to identify the loss of nerve fibers in case of glaucoma. Most good eye clinics like University Eye Clinic in Toronto uses this technology for glaucoma detection.
