An Optic Nerve Scan (OCT) is an advanced imaging test used to capture detailed cross-sectional images of the optic nerve and retina. It helps detect early signs of glaucoma by identifying structural damage before vision loss occurs. Using the Zeiss Cirrus 500, this scan provides high-resolution images, allowing precise diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma progression for better treatment planning and long-term vision care.
Different scan methods help analyze optic nerve structure and detect early damage.
Evaluates the shape and condition of the optic nerve.
Measures nerve fiber layer thickness to detect early damage.
Assesses central retina for additional structural changes.
Examines inner retinal layers affected in early glaucoma.
Compares scans over time to track disease changes.
Regular scans to monitor condition and treatment effectiveness.
Recommended for individuals at risk or needing detailed optic nerve evaluation.
A quick and painless scan to check optic nerve health in detail.
You will sit in front of the machine and focus on a target light. The process is quick and does not involve any contact with your eyes.
