This paper reviews the literature on the role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in the diagnosis of glaucoma and considers the significance of evaluating retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell complex in assessment of glaucoma progression, variability and reproducibility of the method, as well as the influence of age-related retinal changes on the results, analyzes the role of OCTA in glaucoma monitoring. Optical coherence tomography is a modern standard for glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring, and OCTA shows high potential as an auxiliary diagnostic tool.
