Detect Glaucoma Earlier
OCT Glaucoma Detection
This method of testing for glaucoma can detect glaucoma up to six years earlier than alternative options. This slowly progressing disease will begin to steal your sight before you are aware of its presence. In fact, vision loss is usually the first sign patients notice before a glaucoma diagnosis. This earlier detection is possible given the advanced technology that allows the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer to be measured. The OCT Glaucoma Detection technology is also able to detect macular degeneration, another eye concern.
