Anterior Segment OCT for Ocular Surface Tumors

optical coherence tomography (OCT) can scan a range of ocular tissues and take high-resolution image sections during ophthalmic examination.. and recommended as a rapid, informative and quite reliable method of examination to differentiate benign from malignant ocular surface tumors. The conjunctiva is an anatomical site with a prominent risk of squamous cell carcinoma development, which is a unique biological behavior. The superficial lesion with significant epithelial cell growth usually displays unique data, contributing to unusual ocular tumors. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), as a noninvasive, high-resolution imaging technique, provides crucial morphological and anatomical information in ocular surface tumors via visualizing the layer structure of the cornea and anterior segment, qualifying tumor morphology, and quantifying thickness and extension. AS-OCT can provide valuable information for helping in clinical diagnoses, differential diagnoses, prognoses, and evaluating responses to treatments as a significant imaging tool in ocular surface tumors. The correct diagnosis and classification of ocular surface tumors are crucial aspects of their proper management. the aim of the study • To evaluate the imaging characteristics of ocular surface tumors on high-resolution anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT).
