OCT Scanning
Experience the next generation of vision care with our state-of-the-art technology.
This non-invasive imaging technique provides detailed cross-sectional images of your retinas and optic nerves, aiding in early detection and monitoring of conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography) is an advanced eye scan for people of all ages. Similar to ultrasound, OCT uses light rather than sound waves to illustrate the different layers that make up the back of the eye.
At R. A. Glass, we are passionate about eye health. As part of our commitment to provide you with the very highest standard of eye care, we have invested in cutting-edge Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology which allows us to examine the back of your eyes in exceptional detail.
What is OCT?
OCT is a state-of-the-art eye scanning technology that uses light waves to capture highly detailed, cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve. Using this quick, comfortable, non-invasive imaging technique as part of your enhanced eye examination allows our optometrists to see beneath the surface of your eye in unparalleled clarity.
Benefits of OCT
OCT scanning is great at confirming that your eyes are healthy and can be repeated over time for comparison. It is extremely useful in the detection and management of serious, potentially sight-threatening eye conditions at an early stage. Quite often, these eye conditions don’t have any symptoms, until they start to have a significant impact on your vision.
Understanding your OCT
After the scan, we will review the detailed images of your retina. We will explain the results to you, highlighting any areas of concern and discussing the best course of action if treatment or monitoring is needed. Our goal is to ensure you understand your eye health and feel confident in the care you receive.
