ABSTRACT

The recent evolution of imaging tools has notably improved the objective, quantitative determination of structural changes in the glaucoma. The spectral domain optical coherence tomography scanner, commercially available, and its recently incorporated Glaucoma Module Premium Edition, facilitate evaluation of the glaucoma, due to their greater axial resolution, faster exploration speeds, improved reproducibility, eye movement compensation, interference suppression, and advanced segmentation algorithms. The present review describes the technical features, reliability parameters, study protocols, interpretation of results and main artifacts affecting its measurements. Such information will make it possible for the medical community to adequately use and evaluate this technology, adjusting clinical management as required.
