Seeing lasers in eye care might sound scary, but the OCT scan is actually one of the safest and most helpful tools we use.
The OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) machine uses a gentle scanning laser to take detailed images of the inside of your eye, like a “world map” of your retina. It shows the optic nerve, the retinal layers, and even the macula, the part responsible for your sharp, high-quality vision.
These images help us check if everything looks healthy and spot any early signs of eye conditions before symptoms even show up.
