When it comes to maintaining optimal eye health, early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial. Optical Coherence Tomography is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light waves to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, the thin layer of tissue lining the back of the eye. It provides clinicians with high-resolution, three-dimensional visualization of the retina, allowing them to analyze its structure and detect abnormalities with exceptional precision. Some common applications of OCT in retinal imaging include:
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Diabetic Retinopathy
Retinal Detachment
Glaucoma
In addition to detecting early signs of these and many other eye diseases, an OCT scan will determine a baseline norm for a patient to allow subtle changes to be seen over time.
