Glaucoma progression analysis by Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT).

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) provides an objective quantification of the lesions of various target tissue structures in glaucoma, with unprecedented resolution, which has now demonstrated its interest in controlling the progression of glaucomatous neuropathy, from early stages to late stages. A certain number of well-established proofs state that a progressive modification in OCT is a common predictor of functional loss, and that patients with rapid OCT changes have an increased risk of developing glaucomatous scotoma. Follow-up of the progression goes through three stages.
