Best Oct Optical Coherence Tomography in Indore

Some sight-threatening eye diseases, such as glaucoma and macular disease, start with microscopic changes deep within the retina – changes that are not visible to the naked eye during a routine eye exam. OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) at Niramay Indore India Eye Care, Indore gives Dr. Birendra Jha a detailed cross-sectional view of these delicate retinal layers to detect problems at the earliest stage.

What is OCT?

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technology that uses light waves to take pictures of the retina, showing each of its layers in remarkable detail – like an ultrasound scan uses sound waves, but with much greater resolution using light.
OCT can also image the optic nerve head and is therefore an invaluable tool for retinal disease diagnosis and glaucoma monitoring, often detecting changes months or even years before they would be apparent with standard vision testing.

Conditions Evaluated with OCT

Our retina specialist in Indore uses OCT imaging to diagnose and monitor:

Age related and other forms of Macular degeneration
Diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema
Macular hole and epiretinal membrane
Glaucoma – detailed imaging of the optic nerve fiber layer
Central serous retinopathy and other retinal conditions with fluid
Post-operative follow-up after retinal or macular procedures

Signs That May Lead to an OCT Scan

If you notice : Visit our eye specialist in Indore for OCT scan

Visual distortion, such as the appearance of wavy or bent straight lines
A fuzzy or blank spot in the center of your vision
Normal peripheral vision but loss of central vision
Diabetes established requiring retinal surveillance
Glaucoma diagnosis following inspection of the optic nerve
Sudden changes in vision quality for no apparent reason

How Does OCT Scanning Work?

OCT imaging is quick, painless, and usually doesn’t need dilating drops, although sometimes the pupil may be dilated to achieve a clearer image. The patient simply looks into the instrument, which scans the retina and creates detailed cross-sectional images in seconds, which are then reviewed by the ophthalmologist and clinical findings.

What Happens After OCT Scan

The findings suggest possible next steps at our eye clinic in Indore:

Intravitreal injections for Diabetic macular edema, wet macular degeneration etc.
Laser treatment for some retinal diseases
Optic nerve fiber layer changes lead to changes in glaucoma treatment
Refer for vitrectomy if structural retinal surgery is indicated
