OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a quick, non-contact and non-invasive eye scan that provides highly detailed images of the retina and optic nerve. It plays a crucial role in detecting eye diseases early, accurately diagnosing vision problems, and monitoring conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration. OCT is also an important part of pre-LASIK and PRK evaluations, helping plan treatment safely. Regular OCT scans help protect long-term vision through early detection and precise care.
