OCT
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a cutting-edge technology that has revolutionised the field of optometry.
What is Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
OCT is a non-invasive imaging technique allows optometrists to obtain high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the retina and other structures of the eye. By using light waves to create detailed images, OCT enables optometrists to diagnose and monitor a wide range of eye conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and more.
At Cole Martin Tregaskis we are proud to offer OCT imaging as part of our comprehensive eye care services. Our experienced optometrists use this advanced technology to provide accurate diagnoses, personalised treatment plans, and ongoing monitoring for our patients. By incorporating OCT into our practice, we can detect eye diseases at their earliest stages and track progression over time, leading to better outcomes for our patients.
What to expect during an OCT scan?
During an OCT scan, you simply sit down and rest your chin on a chin rest while your eye is scanned in just a few seconds. There is no discomfort, bright lights, or air puffs involved. Your optometrist will then discuss the results with you, explaining their findings while showing you the images.
