By providing the sectioning capability to differentiate individual retinal layers, optical coherence tomography (OCT) is revolutionizing eye disease diagnosis and treatment evaluation. A better understanding of the hyper- and hypo-reflective bands in retinal OCT is essential for accurate interpretation of clinical outcomes. In this article, we summarize the interpretations of clinical OCT and adaptive optics (AO) OCT (AO-OCT) of the outer retina in the human eye, and briefly review OCT investigation of the outer retina in animal models. Quantitative analysis of outer retinal OCT bands is compared to established parameters of retinal histology. The literature review and comparative analysis support that both inner/outer segment (IS/OS) junction and IS ellipsoid zone nonexclusively contribute to the second band; and OS, OS tips, and retinal pigment epithelium apical processes contribute to the third band in conventional OCT. In contrast, AO-OCT might predominantly detect the IS/OS junction and OS tip signals at the second and third bands due to its improved sectioning capability and possible AO effect on the sensitivities for recording ballistic and diffusive photons from different regions of the outer retina.

Purpose: To quantify vascular and structural macular variables in healthy eyes and to investigate correlations between these variables and age using optical coherence tomography angiography. Materials and methods: A total of 261 eyes of 261 subjects with normal fundus were included. Central macular thickness, ganglion cell layer to inner plexiform layer thickness, outer retina layer thickness, subfoveal choroidal thickness, and choroidal vascularity index were measured using optical coherence tomography. Foveal avascular zone area, vascular density, and flow void area were measured using optical coherence tomography angiography. Results: Vascular density in the superficial capillary plexus was correlated with central macular thickness, ganglion cell layer to inner plexiform layer thickness, and outer retina layer thickness ( P < 0.001, P = 0.004, and P < 0.001, respectively). Vascular density in the deep capillary plexus was correlated with central macular thickness and outer retina layer thickness ( P = 0.003 and P = 0.001, respectively). Vascular density of choriocapillaris was correlated with vascular density of superficial capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus ( P < 0.001 and P = 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Vascular density of choriocapillaris varies with retinal vascular density rather than the structure of choroid using optical coherence tomography angiography. In contrast, retinal vascular density changes as the retinal structure. Our results provide more information about the relationship between retina and choroid.

Early detection and monitoring are critical to the diagnosis and management of glaucoma, a progressive optic neuropathy that causes irreversible blindness. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has become a commonly utilized imaging modality that aids in the detection and monitoring of structural glaucomatous damage. Since its inception in 1991, OCT has progressed through multiple iterations, from time-domain OCT, to spectral-domain OCT, to swept-source OCT, all of which have progressively improved the resolution and speed of scans. Even newer technological advancements and OCT applications, such as adaptive optics, visible-light OCT, and OCT-angiography, have enriched the use of OCT in the evaluation of glaucoma. This article reviews current commercial and state-of-the-art OCT technologies and analytic techniques in the context of their utility for glaucoma diagnosis and management, as well as promising future directions. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Vision Science, Volume 7 is September 2021. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
