Abstract

Optical coherence tomography has emerged over the years with the ability to detect changes 
in the optic nerve head, retinal nerve fiber layer, and currently the ganglion cell layer much 
earlier than the defects manifest functionally. Thus, optical coherence tomography acts as an 
important diagnostic aid to diagnose and monitor the progression of this sight threatening 
disease called glaucoma.
