How OCT Works?
Precision Imaging for Early Detection
Using a scanning laser, the OCT analyzes the individual layers of the retina and optic nerve — much like a CT scan for the eye.
This enables early diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of sight-threatening conditions such as:
Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration (Wet & Dry), Diabetic Retinopathy and Retinal Detachment.
What Is OCT?
An OCT scan is similar to an ultrasound, but instead of sound waves, it uses light waves to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve.
This non-invasive and radiation-free technique allows our doctors to detect subtle structural changes long before symptoms appear.
Each scan produces color-coded, detailed images that reveal even the smallest changes over time, helping us tailor treatment to your individual needs.
Why OCT Matters?
With OCT imaging, our doctors can:
-
Detect early signs of disease before vision loss occurs
-
Track changes over time for ongoing management
-
Plan more precise treatments
-
Provide peace of mind with clear, detailed visuals of your eye health

At Tofield Eyecare, OCT is used daily to diagnose, monitor, and manage eye conditions — ensuring our patients receive the highest standard of care.
