OCT Imaging Matters at Your Annual Eye Exam, and Why It Matters!
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an advanced imaging technology that allows us to see the layers of the retina in incredible detail. It gives us a clear picture of what is happening beneath the surface of the eye, often before symptoms ever appear.
Many people assume OCT scans are only necessary for adults, but children can benefit from them as well. OCT imaging can help detect early signs of eye conditions, monitor eye development, and establish a healthy baseline for future exams. For kids who may not always be able to describe vision changes, this technology gives us valuable insight into their eye health.
OCT images help Optometrists catch problems early, track changes over time, and provide the most accurate care possible. Whether you are scheduling an eye exam for yourself or your child, OCT imaging is an important part of protecting long-term vision.
Healthy eyes start with thorough exams, at every age! 👁️✨
