Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
OCT NerveAn Optical Coherence Tomography scan (commonly referred to as an OCT scan) is the latest advancement in imaging technology. Similar to ultrasound, this diagnostic technique employs light rather than sound waves to achieve higher resolution pictures of the structural layers of the back of the eye.
A scanning laser used to analyze the layers of the retina and optic nerve for any signs of eye disease, similar to an CT scan of the eye. It works using light without radiation, and is essential for early diagnosis of glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinal disease.
With an OCT scan, doctors are provided with color-coded, cross-sectional images of the retina. These detailed images are revolutionizing early detection and treatment of eye conditions such as wet and dry age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal detachment and diabetic retinopathy.
An OCT scan is a noninvasive, painless test. It is performed in about 10 minutes right in our office. Feel free to contact our office to inquire about an OCT at your next appointment.
Optos Daytona Optomap
We are proud to introduce the latest cutting edge technology in retinal imaging, the Optos Daytona Optomap.
Daytona retinal scan technology is now available at Century Eye Care
This amazing device allows your eye doctor to see retinal, optic nerve and cornea structures not visible through regular exam methods by using light to provide a high resolution scan meant to pick up early signs of structural change or disease.
This allows your eye doctor to see even the smallest changes in the retina and optic nerve with greater accuracy, and much higher definition, making early and accurate detection of common sight threatening eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, easier than ever before.
Cirrus Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
The Cirrus OCT uses cutting-edge technology to provide you with comprehensive imaging and measurement of glaucoma and retinal disease. It optimizes the diagnosis and monitoring of retinal disease and greatly enhances pre- and post-therapy assessment.
The device is beneficial for the evaluation of cataract patients, pre- and post-operatively, for the assessment of early signs of glaucoma, and for monitoring for glaucomatous change.The Cirrus OCT is also very valuable in monitoring the status of macular degeneration and greatly enhances pre- and post-therapy assessment.
