Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a revolutionary, non-invasive diagnostic technique available at Trivision Eye Hospital in Mumbai. It provides high-resolution, 3-D cross-sectional scans of the retina, allowing our specialists to see beneath the surface of the eye with microscopic precision.
Similar to an ultrasound but using light instead of sound, OCT is the gold standard for diagnosing and managing conditions such as:
This quick, painless scan helps us detect these conditions early—often before physical symptoms appear—ensuring timely treatment and better visual outcomes.
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina, allowing your ophthalmologist to see each distinctive layer of the retina to map and measure its thickness.
No. The OCT scan is completely painless and safe. It does not use radiation (like X-rays) and nothing touches your eye. It usually takes only a few minutes to complete.
Diabetes can cause fluid to leak into the macula (the part of the retina responsible for sharp vision), causing swelling known as Diabetic Macular Edema. An OCT scan can detect this swelling long before you notice any vision changes, allowing for early sight-saving treatment.
