Can I have an OCT Scan?
Yes! An OCT Scan can be conducted on anyone, at any age. The scan will capture a digital photograph of your eyes, whilst using light to illustrate the layers deep within the back of your eye. These images are then cross-referenced with your eye test results to review any areas of concern.
