Glaucoma imposes a serious epidemiological threat, with an steady increase in the global number of cases. In the current ophthalmological practice, glaucoma is diagnosed via a series of examinations, including routine funduscopic examination, ocular tonometry, gonioscopy, measurement of the visual field, and assessment using the optical coherence tomography (OCT) technique. Nowadays, the OCT technique helps in systematising the diagnostic pathway and is a basic diagnostic tool for detection of early glaucomatous eye changes. It is also vital in assessing progression and monitoring treatment results of patients. The aim of this review was to present the OCT technique as a main tool in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.139975.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,19]],"date-time":"2024-02-19T10:15:13Z","timestamp":1708337713000},"page":"1186","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["From the past to the present, optical coherence tomography in glaucoma: a practical guide to a common disease"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Izabela","family":"Zawadzka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9088-6938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanna","family":"Konopi\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"225-234","DOI":"10.3238\/arztebl.2020.0225","article-title":"The diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.","volume":"117","author":"A Schuster","year":"2020","journal-title":"Dtsch.
