Frequently Asked Questions

What is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and how does it work?

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an advanced imaging technology that uses light waves to generate high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, optic nerve, and other structures within the eye. OCT works on the principle of interferometry, where the interference patterns of reflected light waves are analyzed to create detailed images of tissue layers and structures.

Why is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) important for eye care?

OCT plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, management, and monitoring of various eye conditions, including:

Macular degeneration: OCT helps in the early detection and monitoring of changes in the macula, allowing for timely intervention to preserve vision.
Diabetic retinopathy: OCT enables precise evaluation of retinal thickness and morphology, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetic macular edema and other complications of diabetic retinopathy.
Glaucoma: OCT provides objective measurements of the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer, assisting in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma progression.
Retinal diseases: OCT allows for detailed visualization of retinal layers and pathology, facilitating the diagnosis and management of conditions such as retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, and macular holes.
Corneal diseases: OCT can assess corneal thickness, morphology, and pathology, aiding in the diagnosis and management of corneal conditions such as keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, and corneal scars.

What can I expect during an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) procedure?

During an OCT procedure:

The patient will be seated comfortably in front of the OCT machine.
The technician will align the patient’s eye with the OCT scanning beam and instruct them to fixate on a target.
The OCT machine will scan the eye using low-coherence light waves, generating cross-sectional images of the retina, optic nerve, and other structures.
The entire procedure is painless, non-invasive, and typically takes only a few minutes to complete.
