Visual field simulation using OCT and OCT angiography
Summary Preventing glaucoma disease progression requires regular monitoring and timely treatment. However, current assessment of visual field loss is subjective and can be unreliable for monitoring small progressive vision loss. Accordingly, Dr. David Huang et al. developed an OCTA test that produces simulated visual fields. The test provides a more...
