OCT stands for Optical Coherence Tomography. It is a non-invasive imaging technique used to take a detailed photo of your eye. Unlike other retinal photography, where an image may only show the very top layer of the eye, OCT allows us to see each individual layer meaning we can get a better understanding of the health of your eyes.

If you are noticing a change in your vision, you should book an eye test.

An eye test is just a routine procedure that ultimately helps monitor your eye health and maintain your vision.

This will be dictated by your optician, for the majority of customers it should be every 2 years, but please follow the advice of your optician.
