Eye Examinations
We are committed to providing exceptional patient care in relaxed and comfortable surroundings, for you and your family.
All eye examinations will include OCT scanning.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a very detailed non-contact eye scan. OCT scanning uses light waves to take cross-section images of the back of the eye (the retina). It is quick and painless, nothing touches your eye at all - it takes a few seconds additional to your usual eye test.
OCT is similar to an ultrasound in how it works. It allows us to monitor any changes to your eye health and quickly identify the smallest abnormalities. With this hospital-grade technology we can see the retina's distinctive layers and study cross sections of the very back of your eye in incredible detail.
Measurements taken help with diagnosis and also provide treatment guidance for glaucoma and other eye-related conditions such as diabetes and macular degeneration (AMD).
