Oral anticoagulants are widely used in the treatment and prevention of both venous and arterial thromboembolism. They are classified into vitamin K anticoagulants (VKAs) and non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs). The main advantage of NOACs over VKAs is the absence of the need for continuous monitoring. However, there are concerns about their effectiveness and safety in certain clinical situations. In this manuscript, I discussed the possibility of using optical coherence tomography angiography [OCTA] in the monitoring of the activity of NOACs. The rapid development of OCTA technology is very promising. Further research and development will extend its use beyond the realm of ophthalmology.
