Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

OCT scan has revolutionised diagnosis and treatment of retinal disorders, it has become an essential part of modern ophthalmology practice.

This advanced imaging technology provides high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the retina, allowing eye specialists to assess its delicate layers and underlying structures with microscopic precision.

OCT is a completely non-invasive procedure that uses light waves to capture detailed images of the retina, similar to how ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of internal organs. It enables early detection of conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and glaucoma—often before noticeable symptoms develop. By identifying even the smallest structural changes in the retina, OCT helps guide treatment decisions and track disease progression over time.

With its ability to provide real-time, high-definition images without discomfort or downtime, OCT scanning has become an essential component of comprehensive eye care. It plays a crucial role in preserving vision by allowing for timely intervention and more personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.
