Activity descriptionOptical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a noninvasive imaging test and allows clinicians to detect diseases of the retina that affect the ocular blood vessels at early stages. This activity is designed to enhance clinicians’ understanding and application of OCT-A in practice. Participants will explore the evolution of OCT-A technology, compare it with traditional imaging modalities and examine its clinical relevance.

This activity will examine risk factors for glaucoma that will assist health care professionals (HCPs) in the early identification of this condition in general primary eye care practice. Individual risk factors will be discussed, and pertinent literature will be reviewed to provide insight into how certain factors in combination, such as Krukenberg spindles, homogeneous trabecular meshwork pigmentation and iris transillumination defects can indicate an increased risk and alert HCPs to the presence of this disorder. A new tool will be introduced to help recommend when specific glaucoma testing is indicated.
