The Advanced Eye Examination with OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography
We recommend an Advanced Eye Examination with OCT because seeing beneath the surface enables us to more accurately monitor the health of your eyes.
Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)
At Lynne Fernandes Optometrists, we aim to give you the best possible eye care and the highest levels of considered advice and choice. That is why we have invested in OCT technology to take revolutionary scans of your eyes, similar to an MRI scan for the rest of your body.
Like ultrasound, OCT uses light rather than sound waves to illustrate the different layers that make up the back of your eye. We also capture a three-dimensional cross-sectional scan of the back of your eye in one sitting. This allows us to instantly diagnose a number of conditions. The scan is non-invasive, painless, simple and quick.
Furthermore, the software can automatically detect even the most subtle changes to the retina with every scan. This gives you an invaluable ongoing record of the health and condition of your eyes.
