What Is an OCT Eye Scan?
OCT, or optical coherence tomography, is a non-invasive scan that uses light waves to create detailed images of the layers beneath the surface of the retina.
The scan is fast, painless, and provides valuable clinical information that can assist in identifying early signs of eye disease before noticeable symptoms develop.
Revo OCT Technology
The Revo OCT scanner allows our optometrists to assess the retina, macula, and optic nerve with exceptional precision. The high-resolution imaging helps us detect subtle structural changes that may not be visible during a routine eye examination.
OCT scans can assist with the early detection and monitoring of:
- Glaucoma
- Macular degeneration
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Vitreous and retinal abnormalities
- Optic nerve changes
- Retinal swelling and damage
The detailed scans also allow us to compare results over time and monitor progression where ongoing care is required.
Why OCT Scans Are Valuable
Many serious eye conditions develop gradually without obvious symptoms in the early stages. OCT imaging gives our optometrists the ability to identify changes earlier and provide more informed clinical recommendations.
For many patients, OCT scans provide reassurance and a more complete understanding of their eye health.
