Volumetric segmentation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images is essential for diagnosing ocular diseases but requires labor-intensive voxel-wise annotations. While semi-supervised learning (SSL) can reduce annotation costs, most existing methods process data slice by slice and fail to exploit the inherent 3D spatial context. We propose PC-Seg, a progressive cross-view consistency framework that learns high-accuracy 3D segmentation models from sparse 2D annotations. Unlike conventional multi-view approaches, PC-Seg uses a single 2D model to learn cross-view consistency from standard B-scans and orthogonal slices, thereby generating reliable volumetric pseudo-labels. These pseudo-labels are then distilled into a 3D model, followed by a co-training stage in which the 2D and 3D models mutually refine each other through ensemble pseudo-labeling. Experiments on the MSHC and Duke DME datasets demonstrate that PC-Seg achieves accuracy comparable to fully supervised learning while using labels for only about 0.7% of the training data, outperforming state-of-the-art semi-supervised and retinal layer segmentation methods.
