OCT Scanning (Optical Coherence Tomography)

​

What is Optical Coherence Tomography?

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a new, highly advanced and completely painless screening system.  It helps us to examine your eyes more carefully, and in greater depth.  The scanning system goes beneath the surface of the retina and shows us the component layers in high resolution.  If we discover any retinal changes that are of concern we can make recommendations or refer you to a consultant.

 

OCT is useful in diagnosing many eye conditions, including:

​

• macular hole

• macular pucker

• macular edema

• age-related macular degeneration

• glaucoma

• central serous retinopathy

• diabetic retinopathy

• vitreous traction

Currently available at our Ringwood and Brockenhurst branches.
