OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a highly advanced and non-invasive eye scan used to capture detailed images of the retina. At Premium Eye Care Patiala, we use modern OCT technology to detect and monitor eye conditions with great accuracy and at an early stage.
This test works like an “ultrasound of the eye,” but instead of sound, it uses light waves to create high-resolution images of the different layers of the retina. It helps doctors clearly see even the smallest changes inside the eye, which may not be visible in a regular eye check-up.
Why is OCT Important?
OCT plays a key role in early diagnosis and proper treatment planning. It helps in identifying serious eye conditions before they affect your vision significantly.
Early Detection
Detects problems at an early stage before significant vision loss occurs.
High Accuracy
Provides detailed and accurate images of retinal layers for precise diagnosis.
Monitor Progress
Helps in monitoring treatment progress and the health of the eye over time.
Surgical Support
Supports better decision-making for complex eye surgeries and treatments.
Conditions Detected with OCT
OCT is commonly used to diagnose and manage a variety of retinal and optic nerve conditions:
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Macular Degeneration
- Macular Edema
- Glaucoma (optic nerve damage)
- Retinal swelling or thinning
How is the Test Done?
The OCT test is simple, quick, and painless. You will be asked to sit in front of the machine and focus on a light. The scan takes only a few seconds, and there is no direct contact with your eye. In some cases, eye drops may be used to dilate the pupil for better results.
Safe, Quick & Comfortable
- Non-invasive and painless procedure
- Takes only a few minutes
- No recovery time required
