swept-source OCT

Swept-source OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is an advanced imaging technology used in eye care to produce detailed, cross-sectional images of the retina and other eye structures. It works by using a rapidly tuning laser that scans across different wavelengths, capturing high-resolution images quickly. This allows doctors to see microstructural details inside the eye, aiding in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Compared to older methods, swept-source OCT offers faster imaging, deeper tissue penetration, and clearer images, providing valuable insights for effective eye health management.
