OCT stands for Optical Coherence Tomography. Simply put, the OCT is a non-invasive tool that “takes pictures of the back of your eye.” Another way to think of OCT is that it functions like an ultrasound, except it uses light* – instead of sound waves – to map the shape of the retina and optic nerve.
Having an OCT scan as well as your normal eye test will let us have the most detailed information about your overall eye health. Early detection means you can have treatment quicker.

Yes, you likely need an eye exam, as difficulty threading a needle is a common symptom of presbyopia, a natural age-related loss of near vision that begins around age 40. The lens inside your eye becomes less flexible with age, making it harder to focus on close-up tasks like reading or sewing. A comprehensive eye exam can determine if you need glasses or other treatments to correct your vision.
