OCT Scans

OCT is an enhanced imaging technique, similar to ultrasound, that uses non-disruptive light waves to view the different layers of the retina. It can help in the early detection of eye pathology that would otherwise go unnoticed. Things such as:

 

• Pigment changes that can lead to sight loss

• Retinal tears

• Fluid behind the retina

• Vitreous detachments

• Glaucoma

• Bleeding.

 

Our optometrist can review the images on a PC screen and pinpoint areas of concern by digitally peeling the layers back until they define what it is that they have identified as requiring further investigation.
