What is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)?
With OCT, your ophthalmologist can see each of the retina’s distinctive layers. It is a scan that allows your ophthalmologist to map and measure the thickness of the retina. These measurements help with diagnosis. They also provide treatment guidance for glaucoma and diseases of the retina. These retinal diseases include age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic eye disease.

The optic nerve is the physical connection between the eye and the brain. All the visual information taken in by the eye is transmitted to the brain along the optic nerve.
Optic nerve drusen are abnormal globular collections of protein and calcium salts which accumulate in the optic nerve. Drusen usually become visible after the first decade of life, but can be seen before age ten in some children. Often they are present in both eyes (bilateral), but sometimes occur in only one eye (unilateral).
Optic nerve drusen are relatively common and estimated to occur in about 1-2% of the population. However, many cases are never diagnosed because most patients with this condition have no problems with their vision.

We're heading out of cold and flu season, but it's still vitally important to wash your hands, particularly when handling food, caring for a sick person, and using the bathroom. Remember to wet your hands before adding soap, scrub for at least 20 seconds, and dry with a clean towel or air dry. If you can't wash your hands, you can use hand sanitizer when your hands aren't visibly dirty. You can review more here:
