Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a state-of-the-art, noninvasive imaging technology used to capture high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina. This advanced diagnostic tool helps in detecting and monitoring various retinal diseases by precisely measuring retinal thickness and differentiating its layers.

OCT has become an essential part of modern ophthalmology, offering a painless and radiation-free method for diagnosing conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. The test uses light waves instead of sound or radiation, providing sharp and detailed images for accurate assessment and treatment planning.

Why OCT is Important?

✅ Early Detection – Identifies retinal diseases at an early stage.
✅ Noninvasive & Painless – No injections, discomfort, or radiation exposure.
✅ High-Resolution Imaging – Provides precise and detailed cross-sectional images.
✅ Treatment Monitoring – Tracks disease progression and treatment effectiveness.
✅ Quick & Safe – The scan is completed within minutes with no recovery time needed.
