Zeiss OCT at Martin Christopher Opticians

At Martin Christopher Opticians, we are proud to offer the latest in eye care technology with our Zeiss Optical Coherence Tomographer (OCT). This advanced imaging system allows us to take detailed 3D images of the back of your eye, helping us detect eye conditions that may not yet be visible with traditional methods.

What is OCT?

An OCT works like an ultrasound for your eye, using reflected light to create high-resolution images of the layers of the retina. This technology provides us with a deeper view than ever before, allowing us to detect early, subtle signs of eye conditions that could otherwise take years to become noticeable.

What Can OCT Detect?

The Zeiss OCT helps us detect a range of conditions that may otherwise go undetected in the early stages, including:

✔ Macula Conditions, such as Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
✔ Glaucoma
✔ Diabetic Retinopathy – Early signs of Diabetes-related eye damage
✔ Hypertension – Indicators of high blood pressure that affect your eyes

By identifying these conditions early, we can provide you with the best possible treatment options and help prevent further complications.

Why Choose OCT?

✔ Non-invasive and Painless – The OCT scan is completely non-invasive, and nothing touches your eye during the process.
✔ Quick & Efficient – The scan only takes a few seconds, and the results can be immediately discussed with your Optometrist.
✔ Accurate & Detailed Images – The 3D images produced by the OCT allow us to track changes in your eye health over time, ensuring any conditions are detected and monitored closely.
✔ Records for Future Comparisons – The images are stored in your record and can be compared with future scans to track changes, such as the progression of glaucoma or other conditions.

How Much Does OCT Cost?

We recommend having an OCT scan as part of your regular eye examination for the best peace of mind about your eye health. The OCT scan costs £35, which includes both a macula and glaucoma scan.

For those who are part of the Eyeplan Plus scheme, both OCT scans are included.
