Advanced Imaging: OCT for Glaucoma & Retinal Disorders

At DRS Northex Eye Institute, we utilize Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as a cutting-edge imaging technique to diagnose and monitor glaucoma and retinal disorders. This non-invasive procedure provides detailed cross-sectional images of the eye, allowing for early detection and effective management of various conditions.

What is OCT?

OCT is a revolutionary imaging technology that uses light waves to capture high-resolution images of the retina, optic nerve, and other structures in the eye. This allows our specialists to assess the health of your eyes with precision and clarity.

Importance for Glaucoma Diagnosis

Glaucoma is often asymptomatic in its early stages, making regular eye exams crucial. OCT helps in detecting early changes in the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer, enabling timely intervention to prevent vision loss.

Applications for Retinal Disorders

OCT is essential in diagnosing and monitoring various retinal disorders, including:

  • Diabetic Retinopathy
  • Age-Related Macular Degeneration
  • Macular Holes
  • Retinal Vein Occlusions

What to Expect During an OCT Exam

The OCT procedure is quick, painless, and requires no preparation. You will be seated comfortably while a specialized camera takes images of your retina. The entire process usually takes less than 15 minutes.
