See More Than Ever Before

Have you ever wondered what’s really going on beneath the surface of your eyes? Your sight is precious. While a routine eye test checks your vision, an OCT scan goes deeper, allowing us to look beneath the surface and detect potential problems before they cause symptoms. This advanced technology provides a detailed 3D view of your retina, optic nerve, and deeper eye structures, helping us identify issues early and keep your vision at its best.

What is an OCT Eye Scan?

An OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scan is a highly advanced, non-invasive test that uses light waves to capture detailed cross-sectional images of the retina. Think of it as an ultrasound for your eyes, offering an in-depth look at the layers that make up the back of your eye. The scan is:

Painless and quick – Takes just a few minutes, with no contact with your eyes.

Highly detailed – Helps us detect tiny changes before they become bigger issues.

Performed by expert optometrists – Giving you the best possible care for your vision.

Why is an OCT Scan Important?

Many serious eye conditions develop silently, showing no symptoms until they have already caused damage. An OCT scan helps detect conditions such as:

Glaucoma – Identifies optic nerve damage before vision loss starts.

Macular Degeneration – Spots changes in the macula that could affect central vision.

Diabetic Retinopathy – Detects early-stage retinal damage caused by diabetes.

Retinal Detachment & Other Issues – Finds structural problems before they become serious.

Even if your vision seems fine, an OCT scan gives you peace of mind, helping to keep your eyes healthy for years to come.

Who Should Consider an OCT Scan?

An OCT scan is recommended for:

People over 40 – Age-related conditions like glaucoma become more common.

Anyone with a family history of eye disease – Early detection is key for prevention.

Individuals with diabetes or high blood pressure – These conditions can increase the risk of retinal issues.

Anyone wanting a more in-depth eye check – Even with no symptoms, prevention is always better than cure.

What to Expect During an OCT Scan

The scan itself is simple and takes just a few minutes. You'll be asked to look into a scanning device while detailed images of your eye are captured.

No discomfort – The scan is completely painless.

No contact with your eye – It’s as simple as looking into a machine.

Instant results – Your optometrist will review the images immediately.

Early diagnosis & treatment planning – If anything needs attention, we can take action straight away.
