Table 1.

Advantages and applications of AS-OCTA.

Precise diagnosis Efficacy evaluation
Conjunctiva Identification of abnormal vasculature areas and conjunctival lesions Longitudinal estimation of reperfusion
Detection of deeper intrascleral vessels Early evaluation of blood flow density on filtering bleb after trabeculectomy
Assessment of limbal epithelial stem cell
Cornea and limbus Detection of early corneal angiogenesis Preoperative surgical planning by evaluating the depth and area of feeder vessel
Detection of subtle abnormal vessels with corneal opacity Repeatable evaluation of treatment effect by vascular progression and regression
3D imaging of cornea layers Better observation of corneal graft rejection
Scan of predetermined depth of cornea
Ciliary body and iris Early detection of small capillaries and microaneurysms flow Evaluation of regressed neovascularization of the iris during anti-VEGF therapy
Assessment of vascular anomalies in anterior uveitis Exposure of persistent neovascularization
Identification of iris lesions

VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; 3D, three dimensions.
