OCT Imaging (Optical Coherence Tomography)

What is OCT Imaging (Optical Coherence Tomography)?

OCT is a non-invasive scan that uses light waves to take high-definition, cross-sectional images of your retina.

Why it's done

It helps detect swelling, fluid, scar tissue, or structural concerns in the macula—important in conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or macular holes.

What to expect

You simply place your chin on a rest and look at a target light. The test takes just a few seconds and is completely painless.
