Atlas of Optical Coherence Tomography for Glaucoma

Case-based OCT guidance for glaucoma care

Atlas of Optical Coherence Tomography for Glaucoma is a focused clinical atlas built around real-world interpretation rather than abstract theory. Edited by Donald L. Budenz, it brings together concise chapters and image-rich examples to help readers read OCT scans with greater confidence in the setting of glaucoma.

The book is especially strong on practical interpretation: what makes a scan useful, how optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer findings are assessed, where macular and anterior segment imaging fit in, and how progression analysis can sharpen clinical judgment. It also addresses the familiar traps of OCT reading, including false positives and false negatives, so the material stays grounded in everyday decision-making.

What the atlas covers

• Fundamentals of OCT for glaucoma
• How to judge whether an OCT scan is clinically useful
• Retinal nerve fiber layer and optic disc parameters
• Macular and anterior segment OCT in glaucoma
• Progression analysis and common interpretation pitfalls
• Challenging case studies and newer OCT technologies

Who this book suits

This atlas will appeal to ophthalmologists, glaucoma specialists, trainees, and other eye-care professionals who want a concise, visually oriented reference for OCT interpretation. Its case-based format makes it well suited to readers who learn best by seeing patterns on the page and comparing them with clinical context.

For clinicians who already use OCT but want a sharper, more systematic way to read it, this is the kind of reference that stays close to the workstation.
