Advanced Eye exam with Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)

At Carter and Harding we pride ourselves on giving you the best eyecare possible. We have invested heavily into OCT technology, to take revolutionary scans of the eyes. It is similar to an MRI scan for the whole body.

Like ultrasound the technology it uses light waves analyse the different layers that make up the back of the eye. There is also a three-dimensional Cross-sectional scan of the back of the eye, which is done in one sitting. This means that we can quickly diagnose a wide range of conditions, in a non-invasive and simple way. 

The software also detects even the slightest change in your retina position. This allows us to closely monitor the health of your eyes and create an invaluable health record moving forward.
