An OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) Scan is an advanced tool that optometrists can utilize to examine the health of your eyes with greater detail. It enables the observation of sub-surface eye conditions that were previously challenging to detect.
Utilizing 3D images generated by an OCT scan, we can observe a cross-sectional view of a patient’s eye, revealing all the layers. Access to these detailed layers provides our optometrists with a comprehensive understanding of your eye’s overall health. This technology simplifies the process of detecting potential eye conditions.
This can include:
-
Glaucoma
-
Macular Degeneration
-
Macular Hole
-
Detached Retina
- Diabetic Retinopathy
If you are over 25, your optometrist might recommend an OCT scan. This provides a baseline for future comparisons. An OCT scan is especially useful for individuals with a family history of eye conditions, as it can detect changes before symptoms appear.
