  • Gives a detailed image of the deeper layers of the eye
  • Can spot potentially sight threatening conditions sooner
  • Spot subtle changes in the eyes
  • Monitor eye disease progression
  • Manage eye conditions more effectively & more efficiently
  • Provide an insight into overall health

WHAT IS OCT?

OCT stands for Optical Coherence Tomography. It is a painless, non-invasive test that takes a matter of seconds to complete, and our skilled optometrists will talk you through the results straight away during your consultation. An OCT scan uses reflected light rays to take thousands of detailed images of the back of your eyes so we can detect any potential issues in the layers of the retina and beyond.

Which Conditions can be Detected?

  • Glaucoma
  • Macular Degeneration
  • Macular Hole
  • Diabetic Eye Conditions
  • Detached Retina

Who Should have an OCT Scan?

We recommend an OCT scan for everyone over the age of 25 each time you have an eye test so that our Optometrists can compare results on each visit and build up a detailed map of your eye health.

 

Even if you are seen regularly at the hospital eye clinic, it is still a good idea to have an OCT scan in our practice so we can manage your eye health more effectively and make appropriate recommendations.

 

Your OCT scans can be paid for as and when you have them but we recommend you spread the cost on a monthly direct debit plan, which also comes with many other benefits and discounts on eyewear.
