We are very excited to announce the arrival of an amazing new diagnostic instrument for your eyes –
The Topcon 3D OCT
(Ocular Coherence Tomography).
The health of your eyes matters to you. It matters to us too, which is why we have invested so heavily in this instrument for you.
Your eyes can now be examined in previously unimaginable detail, as we can actually see below the surface!
Hopefully you have previously had photographs taken of the back of your eyes - the retina. The OCT will take a more detailed photograph in the same way, giving us a 3D, cross-sectional scan of the retina in one sitting.
It is non-invasive, painless and quick! The images are stored for future reference, and compared to your next scan to monitor the health of your eyes.
We can diagnose and monitor conditions including vitreous detachments, glaucoma, diabetes, macular holes, age related macular degeneration (ARMD) and much more.
As one of the first practices in the country to benefit from this new technology, we are pleased to be able to offer the highest standards of care to our patients. Prevention is always better than cure, and early detection and treatment of disease might save your sight.
How much does an OCT scan cost?
At £35 the OCT represents value for money as other practitioners charge approx £50 for the same. The reduced charge is our commitment to provide you with the best eyecare.
At Martin Reynolds Opticians we are at the forefront of innovation, being one of the first to take advantage of this new technology. However we do understand some of the more established techniques are the best, so we use the best of traditional and advanced techniques to provide the most comprehensive eye examination we can.
At Martin Reynolds Opticians we value you and your vision.
To book an appointment come in to the practice or phone us on 01279 757767.
