At Bay Area Vision, we’re dedicated to taking great care of your eyes. We use a variety of advanced tools and techniques to ensure you get the best, personalized care. One of these is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a quick, painless, and non-invasive test that allows us to take detailed images of the inside of your eye. OCT, allows the doctor can see each of the retina’s distinctive nerve fiber layers and the optic nerve . This makes it possible for your doctor to map and measure their thickness and changes over time. These measurements help with diagnoses and treatment decisions for glaucoma as well as retinal disease, like age related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic eye disease.
The ZEISS technology we use offers a groundbreaking way to image the small vessels of the retina. This non-invasive, dye-free procedure makes managing and treating eye diseases much easier and more efficient. With AngioPlex® OCT Angiography, we can evaluate the fine blood vessels in the back of the eye for leakage, which assists us in evaluating for conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and wet macular degeneration. What makes this instrument special is its ability to capture both the vascular (blood vessels) and structural parts of the eye in a single, non-invasive scan.
We’re excited to offer this cutting-edge OCT technology as part of a new era of vision care that’s faster, more accurate, and more comfortable than ever before!
