OCTcases.com is a free, case-based learning platform created by University of Toronto ophthalmologists and resident physicians to help eye-care professionals and learners hone their skills in interpreting OCT scans. In addition to reviewing ocular anatomy using this imaging modality, the website also provides a systematic approach to tackling different types of OCT including but not limited to macula, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC), and anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT).

The website also contains a comprehensive atlas of ocular diseases (all cases from University of Toronto) with accompanying cases containing multiple choice questions for you to test your knowledge. If you learn best from case-based learning, this website is for you!
