Comprehensive OCT 3D Retinal Imaging
Unveil the most intricate details of your eye health with our state-of-the-art OCT 3D Retinal Imaging using the Topcon Maestro OCT. This advanced technology enables us to conduct a meticulous and non-invasive analysis of your retinal layers, ensuring that any subtle changes are identified precisely. Unlike traditional retinal photographs that capture only the surface, OCT imaging delves beneath the retina to examine all the distinct layers, providing unparalleled insight into your ocular health.
Advanced Glaucoma Assessment
For those at risk of glaucoma, OCT technology offers an exceptional advantage. The scan meticulously measures the thickness of the nerve fibres radiating from the optic nerve to the peripheral retina. Any reduction in nerve fibre thickness can indicate glaucoma progression, allowing us to track changes over time. By establishing a baseline scan, we can detect even the most subtle changes, facilitating early diagnosis and management of this condition.
Detecting Early Signs of Eye Conditions
The OCT scan is particularly beneficial for detecting early signs of conditions like macular degeneration, macular holes, and epiretinal membranes that might not be visible with standard imaging tools. By closely examining the macula, we can identify even the smallest anomalies in the structure of your retina, enabling early intervention and treatment before vision loss occurs. This level of detail is essential in preserving your vision and maintaining long-term eye health.
Tailored Monitoring for High-Risk Patients
If you have a family history of glaucoma or other retinal diseases, OCT imaging is an invaluable tool for monitoring. We can detect the slightest deviations by comparing your baseline results to future scans, ensuring prompt treatment. This precision in monitoring provides peace of mind and helps safeguard your vision for the future.
