Normal scan |
Airdrie Eyecare Centre is
pleased to announce that we have added a new instrument to our practice, the
Topcon 3D OCT-2000 (OCT-2000) optical coherence tomographer. Using the latest technology available we can
now create three-dimensional color images of your retina and its various
layers. This can help your Optometrist
with the identification of retinal health issues at an early stage.
Wet age related macular degeneration |
The OCT-2000 uses a
high-speed light source and 16.2 megapixel color camera to document the back of
your eye. This simple test is done in
our office and takes less than three seconds per eye. Information captured with the OCT-2000 creates a 3D model of the
scanned area providing the doctor with detailed information normally invisible
from view. This new technology will
aide the doctor in the treatment, diagnosis, and monitoring of a variety of eye
health issues today. These include
age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
