Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT)
Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) is an advanced, non-invasive imaging technique available at Desai Eye Hospital to capture high-resolution cross-sectional images of the anterior segment of the eye. This includes the cornea, iris, anterior chamber, and the drainage angle. AS-OCT helps in diagnosing and managing conditions such as glaucoma, corneal disorders, and anterior segment abnormalities.
Using low-coherence light waves, AS-OCT provides detailed images without any direct contact with the eye. It allows ophthalmologists to assess corneal thickness, detect angle-closure glaucoma, and evaluate post-surgical healing. The scan helps in planning treatments, guiding surgeries, and monitoring disease progression with precision.
The procedure is quick, taking around 5-10 minutes, and is completely painless. At Desai Eye Hospital, our specialists use AS-OCT for accurate diagnostics, ensuring early detection and effective management of anterior segment conditions.

- No contact with the eye, making it painless.
- Helps diagnose glaucoma, corneal diseases, and more.
- Quick procedure, takes about 5-10 minutes.
- Assesses corneal thickness and drainage angles.
- Useful for surgery planning and post-treatment monitoring.
- Provides precise insights for better eye care.
