OCT

Advanced Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for Detailed Eye Health Assessment

We are committed to providing clinical excellence and the highest quality eyecare. One of the advanced diagnostic tools we use to ensure comprehensive eye health assessments is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

What is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)?

OCT is a non-invasive imaging technology that uses light waves to take cross-sectional images of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. This advanced technique allows us to see detailed images of the retina’s layers, helping in the early detection and management of various eye conditions.

The Benefits of OCT Scanning

OCT provides several significant benefits, including:

• Early Detection of Eye Conditions: OCT can detect early signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy before symptoms appear.
• Detailed Retinal Imaging: The high-resolution images obtained from OCT scans allow for a thorough examination of the retinal layers, aiding in precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Non-Invasive and Painless: The OCT scan is quick, non-invasive, and completely painless, making it suitable for patients of all ages.

Conditions Diagnosed with OCT

OCT is an invaluable tool in diagnosing and managing various eye conditions, including:

• Glaucoma: Detects changes in the optic nerve and measures the thickness of the retinal nerve fibre layer, which can indicate glaucoma.
• Macular Degeneration: Identifies changes in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision, allowing for early intervention.
• Diabetic Retinopathy: Monitors changes in the retina related to diabetes, helping to prevent vision loss through timely treatment.
• Retinal Detachment: Detects and monitors retinal tears or detachments, allowing for prompt treatment to prevent further vision loss.

What to Expect During an OCT Scan

During your OCT scan, you will be seated comfortably while our optometrist positions you in front of the OCT machine. The machine uses light waves to capture detailed images of your retina without any direct contact with your eye. The scan takes only a few minutes, and the results are available immediately for review.

Expert Analysis and Personalised Care

Our experienced optometrists will review the OCT images with you, explaining the results and any implications for your eye health. We provide personalised care and treatment recommendations based on the detailed findings from your OCT scan.
