An OCT eye scan is completely different from an eye photograph that is sometimes taken by doctors’ diabetic clinics or other opticians. The OCT scan is able to examine eye health below the eye’s surface, is very quick to perform and is completely painless and non-invasive. Results are available instantaneously and it is a great way for clients to gain a better understanding of their eye condition. Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an extremely advanced health check for people of all ages. It is quite different from digital eye photographs offered by your doctor (if you have diabetes) or by other opticians since this only images the surface of the back of the eye. This scan sees under the retina to parts that cannot be seen by ordinary examination. Very similar to Ultrasound, the OCT uses light rather than sound waves to illustrate the different layers that make up the back of your eye.
