Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive and painless eye scan that creates highly detailed cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve. It helps ophthalmologists detect eye diseases at an early stage before noticeable vision loss occurs.
At Laxmi Eye Hospital, OCT testing is performed using advanced imaging technology to accurately diagnose and monitor various retinal and optic nerve conditions.
This quick and safe diagnostic test plays an important role in preserving vision through timely detection and personalised treatment planning.
An OCT Eye Test uses light waves to produce detailed images of the retina without touching the eye. It allows eye specialists to examine different retinal layers and identify even minor changes that may not be visible during a routine eye examination.
OCT is commonly used to evaluate:
Retina health.
Macular disorders.
Optic nerve conditions.
Glaucoma progression.
Diabetic eye disease.
The scan is completed within minutes and does not involve injections or surgery.
OCT helps detect and monitor several eye conditions with exceptional precision.
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
Diabetic Retinopathy.
Macular Hole.
Macular Edema.
Glaucoma.
Retinal Detachment assessment.
Optic nerve disorders.
Early diagnosis allows doctors to begin treatment before significant vision damage occurs.
The OCT scan usually involves:
Your ophthalmologist performs a routine eye evaluation before the scan.
You place your chin on the OCT machine while looking at a target light.
The machine captures detailed retinal images without touching your eye.
The specialist reviews the scans and explains the findings and next steps.
The entire procedure usually takes only a few minutes and is completely painless.
An OCT Eye Test is recommended for people experiencing vision changes as well as those who need regular monitoring for retinal or optic nerve conditions. It helps ophthalmologists detect problems early and track changes over time.
Your eye specialist may recommend an OCT scan if you have:
Blurred or distorted vision.
Sudden changes in vision.
Diabetes requiring regular eye screening.
Glaucoma or suspected optic nerve damage.
Age-related retinal conditions that require monitoring.
Follow-up care after retinal treatment or surgery.
Regular OCT scans help doctors monitor disease progression, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and protect your vision through timely intervention.
