Ocular Coherence Tomographer (3D-OCT)

New 3D OCT leaflet

Because YOUR ocular health and vision is so important to us we're one of the first Optometrists to acquire this revolutionary 3 DIMENSIONAL SCANNER costing over £70,000 which is not yet available in all Eye Hospitals.

The 3D TOMOGRAPHER allows us to see deep inside the RETINA impossible with an Ophthalmoscope or even with a retinal camera. As a result we are now regularly discovering sight threatening diseases and general health problems such as Diabetes whilst they are still TOTALLY invisible with conventional methods.

The importance of a regular annual SCAN cannot be emphasised enough. The microscopic changes under the retina (invisible with an Ophthalmoscope or Camera) is why a SCAN can save your sight!

 Retinal & OCT images

 

An Ophthalmoscope or eve a Retinal Camera image (above left) ONLY reveals the SURFACE of the retina - the 3D OCT images on the right allow us incredible views deep under the retinal surface.

3D Scans - just some of the incredible views beneath the retianl surface which have helped us to save our patients sight.
The video above shows more about the original 1850's Ophthalmoscope & Ocular Tomographer plus many video scans.
 

3D OCT Scans provide early diagnosis of many sight threatening conditions including:

Wet & Dry Age Related
Macular Degeneration

Retinal Detachments

Vitreous Detachments

Macula Tears & Holes

Macular Oedema

Hypertension

Glaucoma

Diabetes

Floaters

Drusen

Retinopathy

Early detection and treatment of some of these can mean the difference between future blindness and being able to see for the rest of your life!
