Digital Retinal Imaging
Digital Retinal Imaging allows your doctor to evaluate the health of the back of your eye. The health of the retina, optic nerve and other retinal structures are checked in detail. The digital camera obtains a high-resolution digital picture of your retina. This picture clearly shows the health of your eyes and is also used as a baseline to track any changes in your eyes in future eye examinations.
What can Retinal Image Detect?
- Diabetes related retinopathy
- Glaucoma
- Macular Degeneration
- Retinal Detachment
- Posterior uveitis
- Retinal vein Occlusion
OCT Scan (Optical Coherence Tomography)
An optical coherence tomography scan (OCT scan) is a critical tool for early diagnosis of macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal detachment, and diabetic retinal disease.
- An Optical Coherence Tomography scan (commonly referred to as an OCT scan) is the latest advancement in imaging technology. Similar to ultrasound, this diagnostic technique employs light waves to achieve higher resolution pictures of the structural layers of the back of the eye.
- It works using only light and is essential for early diagnosis of glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinal diseases.
- With an OCT scan, doctors are provided with color-coded, cross-sectional images of the retina. These detailed images are revolutionizing early detection and treatment of eye conditions such as wet and dry age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal detachment and diabetic retinopathy.
- An OCT scan is a non-invasive test and performed in 5- 10 minutes right in our office. Feel free to contact our office to inquire about an OCT at your next appointment.
