OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve, as well as the anterior segment of the eye. OCT uses light waves to create detailed images of the layers of the retina, allowing for the early detection and monitoring of various eye conditions, such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinal diseases.
At Desai Eye Institute, OCT is performed by directing a beam of light onto the retina, and the reflected light is captured to generate detailed images of the retinal layers. This technology helps in assessing the structure of the retina, optic nerve head, and macula, providing valuable information for the diagnosis and management of eye conditions. The procedure is quick, painless, and does not require contact with the eye, making it an essential tool for routine eye exams and monitoring ongoing eye health.
OCT plays a crucial role in diagnosing early stages of retinal diseases, enabling timely intervention and preserving vision.
Medical Equipment Needed for OCT
- OCT Machine (with a specialized retinal scanner)
- Slit Lamp (for additional eye examination)
- Patient Headrest or Chin Rest (for stable positioning)
- Sterile Gloves
- Disinfectants (for equipment sterilization)
- Monitor (for displaying high-resolution images)
- Pupil Dilation Drops (if needed, for clearer imaging)
- Ophthalmic Markers (for precise alignment during the scan)
