**Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)** is a powerful, non-contact imaging technology that uses light waves to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional (3D) images of the retina and optic nerve. It is often described as a **"biopsy without touching the tissue."**
The OCT is indispensable for the modern diagnosis and management of serious eye conditions. It allows our specialists to precisely measure the thickness of the retina and the nerve fiber layer, essential for detecting fluid, swelling, and nerve damage caused by **Diabetic Eye Disease, Macular Degeneration (AMD)**, and **Glaucoma**.
Precise detection and measurement of swelling (**Macular Edema**) and fluid pockets in the macula.
Accurate tracking of the thickness of the **Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL)** to detect subtle, early glaucoma damage.
The test is performed quickly, requires no touching of the eye, and is safe for all patients.
Provides detailed, three-dimensional views, crucial for planning treatments like retinal injections and laser therapy.
