![]() ![]() We have invested in the latest technology in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to allow for earlier detection and better management of certain eye disease. OCT is useful in the detection and management of several eye conditions:ĭuring your routine eye exam at ROCKLAND EYE CLINIC, your optometrist might suggest an OCT. If you have narrow angles, you could be at risk for angle-closure glaucoma. This measurement is useful for assessment of narrow angles and can sometimes replace or be used in addition to gonioscopy. OCT of the irido-corneal angleĪnother feature of the OCT at our clinic is that it provides a measurement of the irido-corneal angle. OCT testing allows us to see the deep and inner retinal layers and is useful in detecting subtle changes indicating conversion to the ‘wet’ form. We recommend that all our patients with ‘dry’ AMD are monitored closely for conversion to the ‘wet’ form. Retinal OCT is of particular importance for patients suspicious for age-related macular degeneration or known for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We recommend routine OCT nerve scans for patients with a family history of glaucoma. OCT allows for easier detection of glaucoma by measuring the density of the nerve fiber layers of the eye and the ganglion cell layer complex. We offer different OCT scans at ROCKLAND EYE CLINIC There are no known risks associated with OCT scans and they don’t hurt. There is absolutely no radiation involved with the OCT scan. Sometimes, when people hear the word “scan” they think radiation. The OCT scans your eye without touching it. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-sectional images of the retina. As an established clinic of 14 years, our optometrists have developed great contacts for quick referrals to some of the top ophthalmologists in the greater Montreal area. The noninvasive method produces an image by measuring the amount of a dim red light that reflects off of your retina and optic nerve. ROCKLAND EYE CLINIC has the latest technology including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to screen for eye disease and provide co-management for certain conditions with ophthalmology. Optical coherence tomography, or OCT, is an imaging method used to generate a picture of the back of your eye, called your retina. ![]()
