OCT for Diagnosis and Follow-up of Retina and Glaucoma
At Chugh Eye Surgery Centre, we offer Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) — a state-of-the-art, non-invasive imaging technology. OCT helps in the early diagnosis and continuous monitoring of retinal diseases and glaucoma, allowing us to provide precise and timely treatment.
What is OCT?
OCT is an advanced imaging technique that captures high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve. It enables doctors to visualize and measure the layers of the retina, helping to detect even the slightest abnormalities.
How Does OCT Work?
The OCT machine uses light waves to take detailed images of your retina. It is quick, painless, and requires no direct contact with your eye. These images help in understanding the structure and thickness of the retina and optic nerve.
