Technological advances have improved the way we diagnose and monitor disease, especially when it comes to glaucoma management. A decade ago, we had time domain optical coherence technology (TD-OCT) for monitoring retinal nerve fiber layer (NFL) thickness in our glaucoma patients. This technology revolutionized the way we managed the condition, but was not without its limitations.
Although we could view the retina in a way that we never had been able to in the past, the level of precision, along with the slow measurement time of TD-OCT technology, made the quality of the images highly dependent on the person performing the test.
