$Refractive Surgery: Advanced optical coherence tomography an integral diagnostic tool$ Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) is on its way to becoming the next "must-have" tool for preoperative examination of refractive surgery candidates. Spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) devices, such as a particular device (3D-OCT, Topcon Medical Systems), enable clinicians to see anatomic features and abnormalities that cannot be visualized with other routine screening technologies, said Daniel S. Durrie, MD, a refractive surgeon in Overland Park, KS (Read Full Article)
