OCT is an extremely advanced health check for all ages. It's very similar to ultrasound but uses light waves instead of sound waves. It shows the Optometrist exactly what is going on beneath the surface of your eye. This information could prove vital and can help prevent problems in the future. The scan is non-invasive, painless, simple and quick and allows us to instantly diagnose a number of common conditions.
The scan uses light rays to takes a detailed 3D image below the surface of your retina (the inner most surface of the eye) giving us in-depth images of the eyes internal structures.

Having a regular eye examination with your optometrist is the best way to make sure that your eyes are healthy. Everyone should have their eyes examined at least once every two years - even if there is no change in your vision. An eye examination can often pick up the first signs of an eye condition before you notice any changes in your vision.
With Optomap technology, we can perform an extensive examination of your eyes with limited face-to-face contact. This amazing technology gives our optometrists a comprehensive, ultra-widefield view that is not possible with traditional imaging methods.
Optomap is a unique technology that captures more than 80% of your retina in one panoramic image providing a historical record of your retinal health, allowing us to track and monitor any changes in your retina, year over year.The light-sensitive tissue that makes up your retina is susceptible to a variety of diseases and is essential to detect problems early on.

During your 1 hour contact lens trial, assessment and teaching session we will discuss your needs and expectations, decide which contact lenses are suitable for you and show you how to insert, remove and care for your contact lenses. Once you feel happy and confident you can take your contact lenses home for a 2-3 week trial.
