Arrange an OCT Scan on The Central Coast
Meticulously Assessing Your Eye Health with OCT Scanning
At Central Coast Eyecare in Gosford, Erina, Budgewoi and Killarney Vale, we offer OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scanning as part of our commitment to providing advanced, precise eye care. OCT is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light waves to capture high resolution, cross sectional images of key eye structures including the retina, cornea and optic nerve.
Our experienced optometrists utilise state-of-the-art OCT technology to deliver comprehensive assessments of your eye health. By visualising the detailed layers of the retina, we can assist in diagnosing conditions such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. OCT scanning also enables precise measurement of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fibre layer thickness, supporting early detection and management of conditions like glaucoma.

What Our OCT Scans Cover
When we conduct our OCT scans, we provide:
1.Non-Invasive Imaging: Using light waves, we capture high-resolution cross-sectional images of vital eye structures, including the retina, cornea and optic nerve, in a non-invasive manner.
2. Retinal Layer Analysis: Our OCT scanning provides detailed visualisations of retinal layers, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy by detecting subtle changes.
3. Glaucoma Evaluation: We measure optic nerve and retinal nerve fibre layer thickness through OCT scanning, facilitating early detection and effective management of glaucoma, a sight-threatening condition.
4. Corneal Mapping: Our method assesses corneal health and thickness, offering valuable insights for conditions like keratoconus and corneal dystrophies, which impact vision and require specialised care.
5. Angiography: OCT angiography allows us to visualise blood flow in the retina without the need for contrast dyes, assisting in the accurate diagnosis of vascular diseases affecting the eye. This advanced imaging technique ensures a comprehensive assessment of your eye health.
