title: New developments in anterior segment optical coherence tomography for glaucoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the present review was to summarize the new developments in anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) for glaucoma.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Recent years have demonstrated significant advances in the measurement of glaucoma through the use of AS-OCT. Furthermore, a more widespread use of AS-OCT in the clinical study of various glaucomas warrants review, which includes angel assessment, trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal assessment, and assessment of the filtering bleb and tube.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  AS-OCT was recently developed and has become a crucial tool in glaucoma clinical practice. AS-OCT is a noncontact imaging device that provides the detailed structure of the anterior part of the eyes. In this review, the author will discuss the various clinical applications of AS-OCT for glaucoma disease, such as angle assessment, trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal assessment, or assessment of the filtering bleb and tube.
