Optical Coherence Tomography: From OCT-A to All Latest Advances

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays ophthalmic practice widely depend on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A), which are objective, reliable, and repeatable structural tests for both early diagnosis and detection of the progression of various ocular diseases. Regarding the imaging of the anterior pole of the eye, OCT is mainly used the study of cornea, anterior chamber including the angle and crystalline lens, while OCT-A for cornea, iris, sclera and conjunctiva. Regarding the imaging of the posterior pole of the eye, although clinical applications of OCT and OCT-A embrace the entire spectrum of chorioretinal diseases, the most promising fields are diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular occlusion, inflammatory diseases, macular telangiectasia, and age-related macular degeneration.
 

The present Special Issue focuses on the broad range of research and clinical applications to which OCT and OCT-A can be applied, according to the most updated developments. Both original research papers and review articles are welcome; moreover, we will consider case series of exceptional merit.
