The purpose of this study is to analyze the literature on the role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in the diagnosis of glaucoma. This review considers the structural and functional correlations observed during the progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, as well as the capabilities of the method in late glaucoma, describes the strengths and weaknesses of OCT and OCTA, and pays particular attention to the role of OCT in assessing the effectiveness of treatment. Optical coherence tomography is the main method for determining the progression of glaucoma, which plays a key role in the choice of treatment algorithm. However, the use of OCT in far advanced glaucoma has certain particularities and limitations. OCTA can be helpful in overcoming this problem.
