OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) fundus imaging is an advanced ophthalmological examination that provides a detailed view of the structures of the ocular fundus, including the retina and the optic nerve. This examination is crucial for the early detection and monitoring of various eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

Preparation for the imaging is simple and does not require special preparations. The examination can be performed on a dilated or undilated pupil, depending on the doctor’s assessment. First, you will sit in front of the OCT fundus imaging and rest your chin on a special stand to keep your head stable. During the imaging, you will be asked to fix your gaze on a light point inside the device.

The imaging procedure is quick, painless, and non-invasive, taking only a few minutes for each eye. The OCT fundus imaging uses light waves to create detailed, three-dimensional images of the different layers of the retina. During the imaging, you may experience a slight flickering of light, but most patients describe the experience as completely comfortable.

After the imaging, the ophthalmologist will analyze the obtained images to assess the condition of your ocular fundus. Based on the results, further diagnostics or treatment may be recommended if any abnormalities are detected.

OCT fundus imaging is an extremely precise method that allows the early detection of the eye diseases and provides valuable information for the effective management of your eye health. Regular examinations using this method can significantly contribute to the preservation of your vision.
