OCT: A practical tool for diagnosing buried optic disc drusen

OCT: A practical tool for diagnosing buried optic disc drusen Dr Adèle Ehongo addresses the diagnosis of buried optic disc drusen (BODD) using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and the importance of correlating visual field abnormalities and OCT data, especially in normal tension glaucoma, to distinguish it from Optic Disc Drusen (ODD). To support the diagnosis of glaucoma, correspondence between visual field abnormalities, optic nerve head appearance, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) data is essential. When considering normal tension glaucoma (the form of glaucoma with no elevated ocular pressure), it is crucial to exclude other causes that could explain the alterations in question, since visual field deficits suggestive of glaucoma are not specific to it and could reveal other conditions, such as Optic Disc Drusen (ODD).
