Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Anterior Segment of the Eye
Corporate Medical Policy Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Anterior Segment of the Eye File Name: optical_coherence_tomography_(OCT)_anterior_segment_of_the_eye Origination: 2/2010 Last CAP Review: 6/2021 Next CAP Review: 6/2022 Last Review: 6/2021 Description of Procedure or Service Optical Coherence Tomography Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive, high-resolution imaging method that can be used to visualize ocular structures. OCT creates an image of light reflected from the ocular structures. In this technique, a reflected light beam interacts with a reference light beam. The coherent (positive) interference between the 2 beams (reflected and reference) is measured by an interferometer, allowing construction of an image of the ocular structures. This method allows cross-sectional imaging a t a resolution of 6 to 25 μm. The Stratus OCT, which uses a 0.8-μm wavelength light source, was designed to evaluate the optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer, and retinal thickness in the posterior segment. The Zeiss Visante OCT and AC Cornea OCT use a 1.3-μm wavelength light source designed specifically for imaging the a nterior eye segment. Light of this wa velength penetrates the sclera, a llowing high-resolution cross- sectional imaging of the anterior chamber (AC) angle and ciliary body. The light is, however, typically blocked by pigment, preventing exploration behind the iris. Ultrahigh resolution OCT can achieve a spatial resolution of 1.3 μm, allowing imaging and measurement of corneal layers. Applications of OCT OCT of the anterior eye segment is being eva luated as a noninvasive dia gnostic and screening tool with a number of potential a pplications. -

Continuous advancements in AS-OCT technology and software, along with an extensive research in the field, have resulted in a wide range of possible parameters that may be used to diagnose and follow up on patients with this spectrum of diseases. However, the clinical relevance of such variables needs to be explored thoroughly. The aim of the present review is to summarize the current evidence supporting the use of AS-OCT for the diagnosis and follow-up of several iridocorneal-angle and anterior-chamber Citation: Triolo, G.; Barboni, P.; alterations, focusing on the advantages and downsides of this technology. -
