Optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA) is the most important new clinical OCT technology in the past decade. It became available as a clinical instrument in 2014. Since then it has been applied to a wide range of retinal and optic nerve diseases. This presentation will review the current state of the art and key clinical applications. I will also report on the development of several novel OCT technologies in our laboratory that may have important clinical applications in the near future.
The European Association for Vision and Eye Research (EVER) congress is a site for clinicians and scientists to discuss their latest advances, and to encourage the participation of young ophthalmologists and visual scientists, as they are undoubtedly the future of our society. Sharing knowledge is usually the main purpose of the Congress, but this year we also need to re-launch the society encouraging the participation of students, residents in training and young investigators.
