Abstract
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a relatively novel technology for in vivo imaging of vascular network. It uses moving erythrocytes as contrasting mechanism and avoids the use of intravenous dyes. A depth-resolved 3-dimensional image set can be generated within seconds using the technique of OCTA. Therefore, it possesses a great potential for widespread application in ophthalmic angiography. Herein we discuss the most common technologies behind OCTA and the scope of future technical improvement. We provide a perspective on advantages and disadvantages of OCTA over conventional fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography. Lastly, current literature on the clinical application of OCTA in common ocular diseases including neovascular age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal artery and vein occlusion, and glaucoma are reviewed.
