Preface
This book deals with one of the latest and most important developments in diagnostic imaging in ophthalmology – Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its applications to the study of the anterior segment of the eye. Since its early development, when this technology was basically applied to study the posterior segment of the eye and particularly the macula, OCT has become an essential tool in the practice of ophthalmology. Nowadays, its application, aided by innovations in implementation, has allowed the study of the cornea, lens, and, in general, the anterior segment, including the ocular surface and glaucoma, and is now an essential element in the diagnosis and treatment guidance of anterior segment
