What is OCT Eye Test? Purpose, Diagnosis & Treatment After OCT

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is an advanced eye scan that helps in detailed evaluation of the retina and other inner structures of the eye. It is a non-invasive and painless test that gives a clear image of the layers inside your eye, helping doctors understand the exact cause of vision problems.

Through an OCT scan, we can identify whether your vision is reduced due to retinal issues, nerve-related problems, or any complications after previous eye surgery. It helps in accurately diagnosing conditions that may not be visible in a routine eye check-up.

If any issue is detected in the OCT, the treatment depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, medications or eye drops may be sufficient, while in others, further procedures or specialized treatments may be required. The scan essentially helps us decide the most appropriate and effective treatment plan for your condition.
