AB  - PURPOSE OF REVIEW: As spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) 
      progressively replaces time-domain OCT (TD-OCT) in the clinical and research 
      setting, several commercially available instruments and new software upgrades for 
      glaucoma diagnosis and progression analysis have been developed. Over the last 
      year, several studies have been performed to assess the diagnostic performance of 
      most of these instruments necessitating a review of their findings. RECENT 
      FINDINGS: When compared with the measurements provided by TD-OCT, the 
      conventional peripapillary circular scans by SD-OCT, which aim to measure the 
      retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, show higher repeatability and similar 
      diagnostic sensitivity. New software capabilities, such as the RNFL deviation map 
      of Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) or the macular Ganglion Cell 
      Complex scan of RTVue (Optovue, Fremont, CA), provide complementary information 
      that enhances our ability to discriminate between healthy and glaucomatous eyes. 
      SUMMARY: SD-OCT-based instruments represent a technological advancement in the 
      diagnosis of glaucoma. Improved repeatability will facilitate more reliable 
      follow-up and progression analysis.
