OCT in Ophthalmology

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique used by eye doctors to create detailed, cross-sectional pictures of the retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Using light waves, OCT can visualize the different layers of the retina, helping detect and monitor conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. This high-resolution imaging allows for early diagnosis and precise management of eye diseases, often without discomfort or the need for physical contact, making it a critical tool in modern ophthalmic care.
