Your eyes deserve the most advanced care-and that’s exactly what we offer with our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) service. OCT is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take detailed cross-sectional pictures of your retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. It’s a powerful tool that allows eye doctors to detect problems earlier than ever before.
This cutting-edge technology plays a critical role in diagnosing and managing glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and other retinal diseases. OCT allows us to see each of the retina’s distinctive layers, helping us map and measure their thickness. These measurements help with early detection, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
Fast, painless, and highly precise, OCT provides detailed imaging in just minutes-with no contact to the eye. It’s an essential part of modern eye care, helping us protect your vision long before symptoms appear.
Description & Process
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is similar to ultrasound but uses light instead of sound to generate images. It’s one of the most advanced imaging technologies available in eye care.
Conditions We Detect with OCT:
-
Glaucoma
-
Diabetic Retinopathy
-
Macular Degeneration (AMD)
-
Retinal Detachment or Edema
-
Macular Holes or Puckers
-
Optic Nerve Disorders
How the OCT Process Works:
-
Patient Preparation
No special preparation is needed. Eye drops may be used to dilate your pupils. -
Non-Invasive Scanning
You sit in front of the OCT machine and rest your head. The scan is done in under 5 minutes per eye. -
Retinal Layer Imaging
The device captures high-resolution, 3D images of your retina and optic nerve. -
Analysis & Diagnosis
Our specialists interpret the scans immediately to spot signs of disease or structural changes.
Result
OCT helps us identify eye conditions at their earliest stages-often before symptoms begin-enabling faster, more effective treatments that protect your sight. For patients already diagnosed, OCT helps us monitor changes over time and make better decisions about treatment.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide precise and proactive eye care using technology that keeps our patients ahead of vision problems. We’re committed to using innovation like OCT to maintain healthy eyes and long-term visual wellness.
