Abstract

THERE ARE MANY NEWER OCT TERMINOLOGIES IN GLAUCOMA PRACTICE. UNFORTUNATELY, TEXTBOOKS HAVE NOT INCORPORATED THESE TERMS, AND MANY ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN A CONSOLIDATED MANNER IN JOURNALS TOO. GETTING A BETTER GRIP OF THESE CONCEPTS AND IMBIBING THEM WILL IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES; AND PAVE THE WAY TO MANY RESEARCH IDEAS. THIS COURSE PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF NEWER OCT TERMINOLOGIES ABOUT GLAUCOMA SUCH AS 1.BRUCH’S MEMBRANE OPENING (BMO) 2.BMO-HORIZONTAL RIM WIDTH (BMO-HRW) 3.BMO-MINIMUM RIM WIDTH (BMO-MRW) 4.BMO-HRW VS BMO-MRW 5.CLINICALLY ASSESSED VS BMO BASED DISC MARGIN 6.ALPHA, BETA AND GAMMA ZONE OF ONH 7.ANATOMIC POSITIONING SYSTEM AND GMPE & 8.FOVEA-TO-BMO-CENTER (FOBMOC) AXIS. IN THIS IC, ANATOMY OF THE ONH IS DECODED FROM A NEOPHYTE’S POINT OF VIEW WITH CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS, ON WHY BMO-MRW IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE BMO-HRW. THE NEWER TERMINOLOGIES ARE ILLUSTRATED IN A NOVEL DYNAMIC (CLINICAL VS OCT VS HISTOLOGY) SCREENPLAY WITH ANIMATIONS AND FOCAL TAKE-HOME PEARLS.
