SD-OCT (spectral-domain optical coherence tomography)

Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technology that captures detailed cross-sectional images of the eye’s structures, particularly the retina. It uses light waves to measure the thickness and layers of the retina with high precision, helping eye doctors detect and monitor conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. SD-OCT provides rapid, high-resolution images, enabling precise diagnosis and effective treatment planning without physical contact or discomfort to the patient. It is a valuable tool in modern eye care for early detection and ongoing management of eye diseases.
