OCT IMAGING

A closer
look.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses light to create cross-sectional images of the retina at the back of the eye. It lets your optometrist look beneath the surface and examine its individual layers in detail.

What the scans show

OCT provides detailed views of the retina, including the macula used for central vision, and the area around the optic nerve. These images help your optometrist assess the structure of the tissue and look for changes that may need further investigation.

Why they’re useful

Scans can help assess and monitor conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. Comparing scans over time helps identify changes, even when you haven’t noticed a difference in your vision.

What to expect

The scan is quick, painless and non-invasive. Your optometrist reviews the images alongside the rest of your eye examination, explains what they show and discusses any recommended monitoring, treatment or referral.

BEFORE YOUR VISIT

Before your
appointment.

How do I request an eye test?

Call our team or send an online enquiry. We’ll contact you to arrange a suitable time. An enquiry is not a confirmed appointment.

What should I bring?

Bring your current glasses or contact lens details, and any information you’d like to discuss with your optometrist. Ask the team whether anything else is needed for your visit.

Can I ask about an eye health condition?

Yes. Our optometrists can discuss concerns about your eye health, including glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, cataracts and macular degeneration, and advise on appropriate assessment or referral.

What about Medicare and health funds?

Ask us about Medicare eligibility, private health claiming through HICAPS and the options available for your cover. Benefits and out-of-pocket costs depend on your eligibility and the services or eyewear you choose.
