Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) can be used to detect ocular changes many of which may not be detectable using conventional viewing methods [1]. But despite its usefulness in detecting ocular pathologies, tracking pathology progression, response to treatment of the said pathologies, and making prompt and educated referrals, when necessary, its use in the optometric field in Nigeria has been limited.
This paper attempts to emphasise the importance of OCT in clinical practice using clinical case reports and provide recommendations for addressing the factors influencing its limited use by optometrists in Nigeria.
