What is an 3D OCT retinal scan
OCT – Optical Coherence Tomography is an advanced eye scan for people of all ages. Similar to ultrasound, OCT uses light rather than sound waves to image the different layers that make up the structures at the front and back of your eye. The OCT machine captures both a photograph and a cross sectional scan of the eye at the same time.
What does OCT cost?
Private patients: “Gold” standard sight examination including OCT scanning £89
NHS patients: “Gold” standard sight examination including OCT scanning £55

The Scientific Stuff!
Using our Topcon state-of-the-art 3D OCT scanner, your Optometrist will take both a digital photograph and a three dimensional cross sectional scan of the back of your eyes in one sitting. This allows both instant and early diagnosis of a number of common ocular conditions. The scan is non-invasive, painless, simple and quick. What’s more, the software can automatically detect even the most subtle changes to the retina with every sight test you have. This gives you an invaluable ongoing record of the health and condition of your eyes.
