OCT
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a quick, non-invasive scan that captures detailed images of the layers of your retina. It helps detect early signs of eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease, allowing for timely and effective treatment.
OCT works by using light to build a three dimensional picture of the retina and optic nerve. The technology produces images with microscopic precision, helping us to examine the health of your eyes in great detail.
The scan is completed in just a few minutes. You simply rest your chin on a support while the machine captures images using near infrared light. Nothing touches your eye, and the results are available for our Optometrist immediately.
OCT is an invaluable tool in identifying the earliest signs of a wide range of conditions, often before you notice any changes in your vision.
Your retina is important to clear, healthy vision.
The retina is a delicate tissue located at the back of the eye, responsible for sending visual information to your brain.
It is also the only place in the body where blood vessels can be seen directly, giving us insight not only into eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and retinal tears, but also into systemic health issues like diabetes, hypertension, and the risk of stroke.
Many eye concerns develop without symptoms in the early stages. OCT can reveal changes before they affect your sight, allowing earlier and more effective treatment.
An OCT scan is a simple procedure, and your optometrist will explain the results straight away. Many people choose to include OCT as part of their regular eye examination for added peace of mind.
Regular retinal imaging is an important step in maintaining healthy eyes. Schedule your OCT scan today for extra peace of mind.
