Since its introduction to the field of ophthalmology, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been markedly improved in terms of imaging protocols, algorithms, and new parameters that have enhanced its utility for the diagnosis and assessment of glaucoma progression. In this review, we examine the clinical utility of OCT in the diagnosis of glaucoma and monitoring of its progression, and emphasize the technological advances that facilitate both glaucoma research and the formulation of clinical management strategies.
