OCT Examination
| The physicians of Retina Vitreous Surgeons are proud to announce the first Central New York availability and utilization of OCT technology. The OCT is a diagnostic imaging device that provides direct cross sectional images of the retina for objective measurement and subjective clinical evaluation in the detection of retinal diseases and glaucoma. The OCT images and analyzes macular thickness, the retinal nerve fiber layer and the optic disc using the latest technology for high resolution scans. The Optical Coherence Tomographer is a precision instrument that uses an optical measurement known as low-coherence interferometry. The principle is much like that of ultrasound, except that light is used instead of sound. This difference permits measurement of tissue and distance resolved to the scale of ≤ 10µm, versus the 200µm resolution with ultrasound. The instrument is crucial in the diagnosis of macular holes, macular edema and retinal traction. |  |
