AS-OCT shown to be a reliable alternative to gonioscopy for angle triage
Specialist-reviewed AS-OCT may serve as a safe and effective triage alternative to gonioscopy for angle assessment in virtual glaucoma clinics, according to a real-world study. With high sensitivity and strong predictive value for identifying open angles, AS-OCT could help streamline referrals and optimize in-person care when interpreted by glaucoma subspecialists.

Anterior segment OCT accurately measures muscle insertion in strabismus reoperations
Anterior segment OCT may provide a reliable, noninvasive way to localize previously operated horizontal rectus muscles before strabismus reoperations, according to a study. Preoperative ASOCT measurements closely matched intraoperative findings, demonstrating high accuracy and agreement, and suggesting a valuable role when prior surgical details are unclear or scarring limits visualization.
