OCT-A can differentiate and monitor various optic nerve head disorders by characterizing retinal vasculature. It provides quantitative assessment of microcirculation changes in the optic nerve head and peripapillary region. Normal eyes have higher vessel density and smaller vessel spacing compared to diseases like glaucoma where vessel density decreases with severity. OCT-A may help prognosticate diseases by monitoring progression of structural changes in the retinal and optic nerve vascular network.
