Participants should be able to understand the basics of how OCT imaging works to quantitate retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, macular volume, and optic nerve head characteristics; recognize neurologic disorders and optic neuropathies for which OCT imaging may provide helpful information about disease status and axonal or neuronal degeneration; learn how structure-function correlations provided by vision testing techniques and OCT make the anterior visual pathways a useful system for evaluating neuroprotective; and other novel therapies for neurologic disease using multiple sclerosis and acute demyelinating optic neuritis as models.
