OCT Digital Scan
State-of-the-art Optical Coherence Tomography providing detailed cross-sectional images of your retina, detecting eye conditions at the earliest possible stage.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technology that produces detailed cross-sectional images of your retina. Think of it as an MRI for your eye, using light instead of sound to achieve incredibly high-resolution images of the structures beneath the retinal surface.
At Eyewise Opticians, we were one of the first independent practices in the area to invest in OCT technology. It's now a cornerstone of how we monitor and protect your eye health.
How It Works
The scan is quick, painless, and non-invasive, it takes just a few seconds per eye. You simply look into the device while it captures detailed images of the layers of your retina. No drops or contact with your eye is required.
What Can OCT Detect?
OCT scanning is invaluable for detecting and monitoring glaucoma (up to 8 years before vision loss), age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, and vitreous detachments. The images provide a baseline that can be compared at future visits to track even the smallest changes.
Who Should Have an OCT Scan?
We recommend OCT scanning for all patients aged 25 and over. It's included in our Enhanced and Premium eye care tiers, and available as an add-on to our Essential examination.
