Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)

OCT is the best way to detect eye disease at the earliest possible opportunity.

It takes a 3D scan of the retina, allowing us to see the surface of the retina as well as the layers underneath.

This allows us to pick up early subtle changes in the retina which would otherwise go undetected.

Over time, we can build up a picture of your eye health and see any changes before you have any problems with your vision.

It is particularly useful in detecting glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetes, macular holes and posterior vitreous detachments.

For only £25 you can have this done at your appointment, just ask your optometrist.
