This book is a more than adequate reference to OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and its' applications to ocular diseases. The principles of OCT is a very good reference for understanding how the technology works. The OCT findings correlated with the fundus pictures and angiogram provide an excellent view of the pathology of the cases reviewed. A good reference to have for glaucoma and retinal specialist.

I'm surprised there aren't more OCT texts out there. I've had this book for quite some time now. It is a great resource with good pictures of fundus images of many disease states and correlates them with FA and OCT images. Often there are pre and post treatment pictures.

It may be outdated soon with some of the newer OCT technologies coming out, but I think the basics and OCT findings presented will not be significantly different.

The focus of the book is definitely on retinal disease although there is a chapter on OCT in management of glaucoma. For retinal disease, it is pretty comprehensive, usually showing multiple examples of any given disease.

I would highly recommend this book for those with an interest in OCT.
My ownly gripe with the book is that I felt that the authors should have developed a methodology for the systematic evaluation of an OCT...similar to how medical students are taught to read a chest x-ray. Oh well.
