Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)
• It is one of the most modern devices for examining and diagnosing eye diseases. Its innovation and development over the past ten years have radically changed the concepts and treatment of the retina, optic nerve, and glaucoma.
• It performs cross-sectional imaging of retinal cells in their various layers, with a resolution of up to two microns. This enables the treating physician to obtain real, live information similar to that obtained from examining a retinal sample under a microscope.
• It helps diagnose and change treatment concepts for many retinal diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and various venous thrombosis, as well as detecting and treating various macular diseases.
• This device helps examine the nerve fiber layer surrounding the optic nerve, which is very important in glaucoma, facilitating early detection and accurate monitoring of this disease.
