Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Scans at The Optical Co
An Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan is an advanced imaging service that allows our optometrists to closely examine and monitor your eye health. At The Optical Co, OCT scans are available in-store, helping us detect subtle changes early and support long-term vision and eye health with confidence.
What You Need to Know About Optical Coherence Tomography Scans
Optical coherence tomography is a detailed eye scan that captures high-resolution images of the eye using light waves. This OCT test allows your optometrist to see beneath the surface of the eye, helping identify the early signs of conditions that affect the macula, retina and the rest of your eye.
An optical coherence tomography scan is particularly valuable for monitoring changes that may not yet affect your vision. By adding an optical coherence tomography scan to your eye test, we can better protect your sight through early detection and ongoing care.
How an OCT Scan Helps Protect Your Vision
An OCT scan is quick, comfortable, and non-invasive. You’ll be guided to look at a fixation point while the scanner captures precise images of your eye, allowing your optometrist to assess your eye health with clarity and accuracy.
Who Can Benefit from a OCT Scan?
An OCT scan is suitable for all patients, especially those with a family history of eye disease, diabetes, or age-related vision changes. It’s also helpful for patients experiencing unexplained changes to their vision or for those needing closer monitoring of their eye health.
The Advantages of an Optical Coherence Tomography Scan
An OCT scan helps your optometrist detect subtle changes in the eye before symptoms appear or progress, supporting earlier diagnosis and proactive care. It provides detailed baseline images for ongoing monitoring and helps guide timely treatment decisions. Most importantly, it offers you peace of mind with a clearer, more complete understanding of your overall eye health.
