Eye examination with OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)
What is OCT?
Eye examinations using an optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) machine are a type of imaging device that uses light to create cross-sectional images of the retina. This machine uses light to shine into the eye to create cross-sectional images of the retina in 2D and 3D , allowing the doctor to clearly see the thickness of the retinal layer and any abnormalities.
