OCT-Angiography (OCT-A) is new non-invasive technology for visualising functional ocular blood flow and changes in 3-D. OCT-A identifies retinal and choroidal microcirculation using the intrinsic motion of blood cells within the vessels to image the microvasculature with unprecedented detail. It captures extremely high detailed three-dimensional vascular images in seconds which can be viewed at any depth through the retina and choroid.
ONH perfusion can now be viewed and measured with AngioVue and detection of reduced ONH perfusion for early glaucoma diagnosis. The ONH flow index is highly correlated with visual field indices. AngioVue imaging of the ONH and peripapillary retina delivers valuable functional new information for glaucoma that complements structural OCT measurements of the ONH and macular Ganglion Cell Complex.
