Abstract
BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that provides easily obtainable and highly reproducible cross-sectional images of the retina. Improved modalities of the OCT that are capable of providing high quality images of not only the retina, but also the deeper structures and vasculature have been developed, including swept-source OCTs and OCT angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Review. RESULTS: The use of OCT in the monitoring of retinitis pigmentosa has been well described and numerous signs of disease progression have been studied. Notably among them are the detection of changes to retinal thickness, the ellipsoid zone, the vasculature on OCT angiography, and cystoid macular edema. CONCLUSION: In this review, we discuss the multiple applications of OCT as a tool in the monitoring of retinitis pigmentosa and its potential use as an outcome measurement in current and future therapeutic endeavors.
