An OCT, which stands for ‘optical coherence tomography’, is a highly sophisticated device used to digitally image the retina of the eye. This system allows a retinal specialist to see the very intricate layers of the retina and is used to identify such things as retinal holes, overlying retinal membranes, or retinal swelling. Precise identification of these various disorders can otherwise be difficult, making it hard to determine appropriate treatment. Often found in major university eye clinics, this technology is now available locally only at Piedmont Eye Center. Trust Piedmont Eye Center to provide the very latest technology in advanced retinal diagnostics and treatment.
