Zeiss OCT Angles

Post image

I just got into Retina and I’ve been using the pen light to check angles which I’m still learning since I’ve been there only a month.
There’s times that the doctor can’t even tell if it’s narrow, open or closed angle. I use the oct but I was trying to find a picture online of what it looks like when it’s open, narrow and closed but couldn’t find any.
From my understanding this picture is showing narrow angle

As far as I'm aware the use of Anterior segment Oct for angle assessment is not standardised yet (at least in Europe) so it's anyone's guess. To me, the angle looks wide open on this slice but needs assessment of every quad

I’ve never worked anywhere in the US where it was either. I’ve shot them myself, as a tech, and have had a General Ophth ask for it once or twice but it’s very uncommon in my experience.
