retinal imaging and oct

optical coherence tomography

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test.

Similar to an ultrasound, it uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina.

With an OCT, your optometrist can see each of the retina's distinctive layers and predict early nerve loss.

Fundus Photography/Retinal imaging takes a digital 2D flat picture of the back of your eye.

It shows the retina(, the optic disc and blood vessels.
