OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is an advanced, painless scan that allows us to see detailed images of the back of your eye. It uses safe light waves to create a highly accurate picture of the retina, helping us detect and monitor eye conditions such as Glaucoma, Age Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetes to name a few, much earlier than a standard eye test alone.
