OCT has become a gold standard in the delivery of eye care to diagnose and manage posterior segment diseases of the optic nerve and retina, in particular, glaucoma and macular diseases. This six-part course provides a continual curriculum of OCT technologies, from basic physical science concepts to image interpretation, analysis, and management of pathology. 

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Have a comprehensive understanding of the history, scientific principles, and advancements of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology.

• Be proficient in the techniques and procedures for acquiring high-quality OCT images, including preparing patients, operating equipment, and ensuring image reliability.

• Accurately interpret OCT images for anatomical structures and ocular conditions, distinguishing between normal and abnormal findings.

• Use OCT technology to monitor the progression of glaucoma, macular disorders, and other optic nerve and retinal diseases, integrating OCT data with other clinical information.

• Apply OCT findings to enhance patient care by tailoring individualized treatment plans and managing the progression of ocular diseases effectively.
