Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive method that provides the opportunity to examine tissues by taking cross-sectional images. OCT is increasingly being used to evaluate anterior segment (AS) pathologies. Swept-source (SS) OCT allows greater penetration and achieves better visualization of the internal configuration of AS tissues due to the longer wavelength employed and high scan speeds. We reviewed the utilization of AS SS-OCT in various conditions including glaucoma, ocular surface pathologies, iris tumors, refractive surgery, cataract surgery, and scleral diseases. A systematic literature search was carried out on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases between January 1, 2008, and September 1, 2022 using the following keywords: AS SS-OCT; dry eye and SS-OCT; ocular surface and SS-OCT; cornea and SS-OCT; dystrophy and SS-OCT; glaucoma and SS-OCT; ocular surface tumors and SS-OCT; conjunctival tumors and SS-OCT; refractive surgery and SS-OCT; cataract and SS-OCT; biometry and SS-OCT; sclera and SS-OCT; iris and SS-OCT; ciliary body and SS-OCT; artificial intelligence and SS-OCT. A total of 221 studies were included in this review. Review of the existing literature shows that SS-OCT offers several advantages in the diagnosis of AS diseases. Exclusive features of SS-OCT including rapid scanning, deeper tissue penetration, and better image quality help improve our understanding of various AS pathologies.
光学相干断层扫描（OCT）是一种非侵入性的方法，它提供了通过获取横截面图像来检查组织的机会。OCT 越来越多地用于评估眼前段（AS）疾病。扫频源（SS）OCT 由于使用的波长较长和扫描速度较高，因此能够更好地穿透并更好地可视化 AS 组织的内部结构。我们回顾了 SS-OCT 在各种情况下的应用，包括青光眼、眼表疾病、虹膜肿瘤、屈光手术、白内障手术和巩膜疾病。我们在 PubMed、Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中进行了系统的文献检索，检索时间为 2008 年 1 月 1 日至 2022 年 9 月 1 日，使用了以下关键词：AS SS-OCT；干眼和 SS-OCT；眼表和 SS-OCT；角膜和 SS-OCT；营养不良和 SS-OCT；青光眼和 SS-OCT；眼表肿瘤和 SS-OCT；结膜肿瘤和 SS-OCT；屈光手术和 SS-OCT；白内障和 SS-OCT；生物测量和 SS-OCT；巩膜和 SS-OCT；虹膜和 SS-OCT；睫状体和 SS-OCT；人工智能和 SS-OCT。本综述共纳入 221 项研究。对现有文献的回顾表明，SS-OCT 在 AS 疾病的诊断中具有多项优势。SS-OCT 的独特功能，包括快速扫描、更深的组织穿透和更好的图像质量，有助于我们更好地了解各种 AS 病理学。
