At Visionary Optical, we offer Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).
This is a specialised, non-invasive scan that provides detailed 3D images of the back of your eyes. This advanced technology gives us a deeper look at the eyes internal structure.
What An OCT Scan Can Show Us
OCT uses light waves to create high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, similar to an ultrasound. This allows us to analyse the many layers of your eye in just a few seconds. These scans help detect and diagnose conditions such as Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma, and other retinal diseases early. Early detection allows for prompt intervention and better monitoring of disease progression and, in turn, is a great measure of how effective your treatment is.
The Process and Benefits of an OCT Scan
Early Detection
Early Detection: OCT scans can identify eye diseases that may not yet be visible during a routine sight test , allowing for timely treatment.
Non-Invasive
The scan typically does not involve any eye drops and the instrumentation does not touch the eye. It’s quick, taking just a few minutes per eye.
Effective Management
Detailed images help in tracking the progression of existing ocular conditions, enabling better management strategies.

Why Should You Get An OCT Scan?
OCT scans are crucial for monitoring and diagnosing various retinal and optic nerve conditions. Regular OCT scans are recommended, especially if you are at risk for these conditions or are undergoing treatment for an existing eye disease.
This proactive approach helps in maintaining optimal eye health and preventing or slowing the progression of eye diseases.
At Visionary Optical, our friendly team of highly qualified optometrists use OCT to ensure you receive the best possible eye care.
