Understanding the OCT Scan

Imagine the OCT as your eye’s version of an ultrasound. Instead of sound waves, it employs light waves to peek beneath the eye’s surface. Traditional retinal photography allowed us to observe only about 15% of the back of your eyes. But with the OCT scan, we can delve into each layer of your retina, giving us an expansive view to spot even the tiniest changes. This revolutionizes our understanding of your eye’s health!

Why an OCT Scan is Crucial

The standout feature of an OCT scan? It empowers us to spot potential vision-related issues *before* they show obvious symptoms. Many eye conditions remain undetectable until they’ve progressed to more advanced stages, making them tougher to address and sometimes leading to permanent damage. If our optometrist identifies a significant concern, they can promptly direct you to a specialist for further evaluation and necessary treatment.
