Enhanced Private Eye Examinations with Inclusive OCT Scanning
As part of our commitment to investing in our clinical services, we are pleased to announce that all our private eye examinations now include an OCT scan. Optical Coherence Tomography is an advanced 3D eye scan for people of all ages. It is similar to an ultrasound; however, OCT uses light waves instead of sound waves to image the different layers of the structures of the front of the eye and back of your eye that are not usually visible on a regular eye exam. The OCT machine captures both a digital photograph and cross-sectional 3D scan of the eye at the same time.

what can the scan check for?
Common conditions a regular OCT scan can check for and monitor the progression for are:
- Age-Related Macular Degeneration – the leading cause of blindness in the UK.
- Diabetes – with over 4 million people now diagnosed in the UK.
- Glaucoma – a condition causing damage to the optic nerve.
- Vitreous Detachments – a painless condition which can cause blindness.
- Macular Holes – a small hole in the part of the retina which can cause a loss in sharp and detailed central vision.
Precision Diagnosis with Advanced 3D OCT Scanning
This ground-breaking piece of technology enables us to capture detailed 3D scans of the layers that make up the back of your eyes. These 3D images allow our optometrist to identify the slightest changes to the insides of your eyes with unprecedented precision and diagnose the first symptoms of vision-threatening conditions.
The technology also means we can keep a close eye on your visual health history, as we can compare previous scans to track changes to your eyes as they mature.
