**6. Conclusion**

OCT has been an important tool used for diagnosis and management of various ophthalmic conditions in adults and older children. Its use in neonates and infants has been limited to research. OCT has demonstrated its utility in expanding and supplying the new knowledge of infant ocular morphology and providing new insights into the pathophysiology of ROP. Also, it has provided the new outlook for retinal vascular development and allowed for a three-dimensional view of pathological ROP findings. In addition, OCT has allowed for visualization of subclinical findings that are not evident on conventional clinical examination. Thereby, OCT has the potential to become an indispensable addition to conventional binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy screening for ROP. It is feasible that OCT will aid in early identification of ROP that is at higher risk of poor outcomes and allow for timely intervention. Currently, many morphologic features detected by OCT are being studied as possible prognostic indicators in ROP. Moreover, OCT might give us new measurable treatment assessment points.
