Our New OCT Eye Test Technology
Experience Our New OCT Eye Test Technology
We’re thrilled to introduce our new OCT eye test technology. Investing in your eye health is important to us, and this state-of-the-art equipment gives us a closer, more detailed look at your eyes. It allows us to detect potential issues early and take action quickly. With OCT, you’re in great hands when it comes to protecting your vision.
What is OCT?
An Optical Coherence Tomography scan or OCT is like an ultrasound for your eyes—except it uses light waves instead of sound. It’s non-invasive and painless, capturing incredibly detailed images of your retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. This means we can identify conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy often before you even notice symptoms.
Key features of our new OCT machine
Our new Topcon Maestro OCT machine comes packed with standout features designed to benefit you:
- Panoramic Fundus Imaging: See your retina in full detail, giving us a clearer view of your eye’s health. Instant Vascular Information: See the health of your eye’s blood vessels instantly—ideal for spotting early signs of diseases like diabetic retinopathy.
- True-colour photography: Enjoy ultra-clear, true-to-life images of your eyes, which make it easier to detect and monitor changes over time.
- Fully Automated Image Capture: The machine does all the hard work so that we can capture accurate images quickly and comfortably during your eye test.
- 3D Glaucoma Scans with Reports: We get a precise 3D view of your eyes, helping us test for glaucoma with exceptional accuracy.
How does this help you?
These features aren’t just impressive—they make a real difference to your eye care. Early detection means we can catch eye diseases before they cause lasting harm. High-quality images and detailed reports allow for better monitoring and personalised treatment plans. Plus, with its advanced automation the test is quicker and more comfortable than ever.
