OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

Optical Coherence Tomography is an imaging method that uses light to scan the retina and optic nerve. This diagnostic system gives the doctor immediate access to images and analysis to see complete cross-sectional images of the retina, referencing over 1000 data points. This is the first and only instrument that can "see" below the surface of the retina to examine the retinal layers. OCT provides detailed images of structures affected by glaucoma and other abnormalities of the retina, including detached retina, diabetes, macular holes, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and pre/post cataract macula assessment. The scan takes only minutes to perform.
