A bit like an x-ray for the eye. The OCT exam allows us to see through all nine layers of the retina for early detection and monitoring of eye disease such as Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Glaucoma. Ophthalmoscopy allows the optometrist to see things once they reach the surface of the retina, OCT allows us to see things much earlier.
