OCT or Optical Coherence Tomography gives our Optometrist the best possible chance of early detection of sight threatening conditions such as Glaucoma and Macular degeneration.
So what conditions can an OCT scan detect?
Glaucoma
Macular hole
Macular pucker
Macular Oedema
Age-related macular degeneration AMD
Central serous retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy
Vitreous traction
While Retinal Photography can give a large image of the retina, the Spectralis OCT can go beyond the Retina surface and examine the layers below and detect possible problems before the are visible on the surface.
