OCT: Interpreting the image

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is used increasingly in optometric practice to identify retinal pathology, to improve referral accuracy and to monitor for progression of disease. It is vital that the optometrist understands the image in front of them and knows how to describe any abnormality to another professional. Brought to you with Heidelberg Engineering Ltd, this video shows a systematic approach to interpreting the OCT, use of terminology and when to refer. We use case examples and explore what happens in the hospital setting.

[narayana]

Excellent demonstration. One need to view this clip again and again to get the complete education.Thanks for an highly educating video.

[Dr_.MRJain]

Excellent tutorial for OCT in various retinal diseases

[mohamedgaafar]

Thanks for teaching us. It was very useful.

[taliapollock]

Such an amazing video to clarify my studies!

[juanding]

The ophthalmologist in the video often refers to 'optician', and he even says that the optician made the diagnosis of late onset Coat's. I wonder if he is actually referring to optometrists

[jariabbas]

I want to ask that do the OCT readings of macular thickness or RNFL values varies by few points in every OCT report of the same person?

[maryme]

I pay £10000 a year for an optometry degree yet you’ve this and many more things better

[saulwafula]

A very informative session. just watched here in KENYA.

[eroniltonnunesdeoliveira]

hello, they could release the translation to the portuguese language, we are more than 12 thousand optometrists in Brazil Thankful.
