摘　　要：Over the past two decades,optical coherence tomography(OCT)has transitioned from being an ocular imaging technology used predominantly in the management of patients with glaucoma and retinal diseases,to an invaluable tool in neuro-ophthalmic practice.As a surrogate marker of neuroaxonal integrity,OCT and recent advancements in OCT-angiography(OCT-A),are now used to diagnose many optic neuropathies,and prognosticate visual recovery over time.OCT provides highly reliable and reproducible measures of retinal integrity that enable structure-function correlations,which can in turn be used to explore mechanisms of injury and repair affecting the afferent visual pathway;a region of the central nervous system(CNS)that is both functionally eloquent and topographically elegant(1).Moreover,OCT measures of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)and macular ganglion cell layer structure inform our understanding regarding the pathogenesis and disease progression for many CNS disorders that impact visual function.
