Optical Coherence Tomography

Optical Coherence Tomography is an advanced imaging modality that uses light waves to capture high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina. This allows for the detailed evaluation of the different layers of the retina and helps detect any abnormalities or early signs of diseases. OCT is particularly useful in diagnosing and managing conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and other retinal disorders.

Key Benefits of OCT Imaging

• Non-invasive: No injections or contact with the eye.
• Quick and Comfortable: The procedure is painless and completed within minutes.
• High Resolution: Provides detailed, clear images for accurate diagnosis.
• Early Detection: Detects conditions at an early stage, even before symptoms appear.

Conditions Diagnosed with OCT

OCT plays a crucial role in detecting and managing a variety of eye conditions, including:

• Macular Degeneration: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that affects the central part of the retina, leading to vision loss. OCT imaging helps detect changes in the macula early, allowing for timely intervention and management.
• Diabetic Retinopathy: For patients with diabetes, regular OCT scans are essential in detecting diabetic retinopathy, a condition where high blood sugar levels cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina. Early detection can prevent further complications and vision loss.
• Glaucoma: OCT is a valuable tool in monitoring glaucoma, a condition that damages the optic nerve and can lead to blindness if untreated. OCT helps track changes in the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer, aiding in the early detection and monitoring of the disease's progression.
• Macular Edema: Swelling of the macula (the central part of the retina) can occur due to conditions like diabetic retinopathy or retinal vein occlusion. OCT helps diagnose macular edema and monitor the response to treatments.

What to Expect During an OCT Test?

• The procedure is quick, taking only a few minutes.
• No special preparation is required, and the test is completely painless.
• You will be seated comfortably while a light beam is directed onto your eye to capture detailed images of the retina.
• Dr. Bajpai will review the images with you and discuss any findings or recommended treatment options.
