Why we recommend an OCT scan at every sight test

Here at Gardners Opticians, your eye health is our priority — and that’s why we offer OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) as an optional extra at every sight test.

🌈 What’s an OCT scan?

Think of it as an ultrasound for your eyes. It lets us look beneath the surface of the retina, giving a detailed 3D view of the layers we can’t see with standard equipment.

✨ Why it matters:
Detects early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration & other conditions
Spots changes long before you notice symptoms
Creates a baseline so we can monitor your eye health over time
Gives you extra peace of mind with the most advanced technology available

🛡️ Early detection = better protection.
Most eye conditions are far more treatable when caught early — and OCT helps us do exactly that.

If you’d like to add an OCT scan to your next appointment, just let us know when booking or when you arrive. It’s quick, completely painless, and incredibly informative.

It's National Glaucoma Week 👀

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease resulting from damage to the optic nerve, this often develops quietly, as the brain adapts to gradual changes in vision. But over time, it can slowly take away your view of life’s most beautiful moments. The solution to this condition rests in early detection and personalized treatment. ​

Here at Gardners Opticians we remind you that regular eye checks can help protect your vision – so you never miss a thing.
