OCT & Diagnostic Imaging
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve.
What we offer
- OCT scans of the retina and optic nerve
- Retinal photography or visual field testing when indicated
- Comparison with earlier results to track changes
How OCT works
OCT uses light to create cross-sectional views of the retina and the area around the optic nerve. During the scan, you rest your chin on a support and look toward a target while the device captures images.
How it differs from other testing
Retinal photography shows the surface of the retina, OCT shows its layers, and visual field testing measures what you can see in different areas of your vision. Dr. Bui selects tests based on the question he’s evaluating.
How results are used
Dr. Bui reviews images alongside your eye exam and may compare them with earlier scans. This can help him evaluate findings related to glaucoma or retinal conditions and decide what follow-up is appropriate.
