Detection of Glaucoma Deterioration in the Macular Region with Optical Coherence Tomography: Challenges and Solutions.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Macular imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) measures the most critical retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the human eye. The goal of this perspective is to review the challenges to detection of glaucoma progression with macular OCT imaging and propose ways to enhance its performance.

Design

Perspective with review of relevant literature.

Methods

Review of challenges and issues related to detection of change on macular OCT images in glaucoma eyes. The primary outcome measures were confounding factors affecting the detection of change on macular OCT images.

Results

The main challenges to detection of structural progression in the macula consist of the magnitude of and the variable amount of test-retest variability among patients, the confounding
