Which method detects glaucoma progression earliest?

A new study published in JAMA Ophthalmology compares OCT, OCT angiography and visual field testing for the early detection of glaucoma progression.

Researchers from the Hamilton Glaucoma Center at the University of California, San Diego, investigated whether any of the three methods could detect progression earlier than the others. The findings add to our understanding of the role of structural and functional measures in glaucoma monitoring and highlight the importance of a comprehensive approach to assessing disease progression.

The study is particularly relevant as imaging technologies continue to evolve, with the goal of achieving earlier and more accurate detection of glaucoma progression.
