OCT Education Reimagined

The en face skill gap is costing your practice $60,000 decisions

A structured education platform that takes optometrists from basic B-scan interpretation to confident en face and OCTA analysis. Vendor-neutral. Clinically rigorous. Built for how you actually learn.

The Problem

You learned B-scan in school. Nobody taught you en face.

En face imaging reveals pathology that cross-sectional B-scans miss entirely. But optometry programs barely cover it, CE courses skip it, and equipment reps assume you already know it. The result: practices running $40K machines at half their diagnostic potential.

?

Education gap

No structured curriculum exists for en face interpretation. ODs are guessing or avoiding the modality entirely.

$

Blocked purchases

Practices won't invest $60K in an OCT or $15K in an OCTA upgrade when they don't fully understand what they're buying.

!

Vendor lock-in

Equipment reps teach their platform, not the science. You need vendor-neutral education to make the right purchase.

Learning Pathway

Three tiers. One destination: clinical confidence.

Start where you are. Every optometrist follows a structured path from their current skill level to full OCTA fluency.

02

En Face Mastery

For ODs with basic OCT experience
  • ILM through choroid: layer-by-layer analysis
  • Structural en face interpretation
  • 10 clinical scenarios where en face changes management
  • Artifacts, segmentation errors, and documentation
03

OCTA Integration

For ODs ready to add angiography
  • OCT-A flow signal and vascular mapping
  • Four-modality analysis: B-scan + en face + OCTA + structural
  • Equipment comparison: vendor-neutral buying guide
  • ROI modeling for your practice
Curriculum Highlights

Built from real clinical cases

Every module maps imaging findings to management decisions. Not theory for theory's sake.

Four-Modality Imaging

Learn to synthesize B-scan, en face, OCT-A, and structural en face findings for AMD, diabetic retinopathy, RVO, CSC, ERM, macular holes, and choroidal lesions.

Layer-by-Layer En Face

ILM, superficial capillary plexus, deep capillary plexus, outer retina, RPE/Bruch's, choriocapillaris, and choroid. Know which layer matters for which pathology.

Management-Changing Scenarios

10 clinical scenarios where en face imaging directly changes your treatment plan. CNV differentiation, macular ischemia detection, geographic atrophy monitoring, and more.

Equipment Decision Framework

Vendor-neutral comparison of Zeiss, Topcon, Heidelberg, and Optovue platforms. Understand what you need before you spend $60K.

Stop guessing at scans. Start reading them with confidence.

SlabED is the only structured education platform dedicated to en face OCT imaging and OCTA for optometrists. Weekly lessons, clinical cases, and a clear pathway from wherever you are to wherever you need to be.
