OCT (Optical Coherence Tomographer)
This new machine manufactured in Germany by Zeiss is called an HD-OCT. It has the ability to capture images of eye tissue at a near individual cell level of resolution. In addition, it can show each layer of tissue in the eye allowing our glaucoma eye doctors to pinpoint the exact location of tissue damage. This sophisticated piece of equipment aids in the diagnosis and management of many ocular conditions, including glaucoma and macular degeneration. OCT is a safe, painless and quick procedure that does not require dilation of the pupils. A laser scans the retina, optic nerve, cornea, or anterior chamber in just a manner of seconds to provide our glaucoma doctors with detailed information regarding the microscopic details of the eye. Anyone who has glaucoma, or is a glaucoma suspect would benefit from undergoing this diagnostic test.OCT (Optical Coherence Tomographer)
