Cirrus HD-OCT

Cirrus HD-OCT is the newest high-definition retinal OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) system.  This cutting edge diagnostic system acquires many high resolution scans that allow our doctor to get a 3D image of your retina.  The technology is much like ultrasound, except that is uses light rather than sound.  Optical Coherence Tomography is almost like taking biopsies without surgery. The procedure is non-contact and non-invasive.

The Cirrus OCT scans an infrared light across the retina, which generates a cross-sectional image of the tissue in microscopic detail. It generates a measurement of tissue and distance of up to 5/1000 of a millimeter and over 67,000,000 data points. This allows us to view your retina as if it were under a microscope, enhancing our ability to diagnose and manage a wide-range of retinal disorders, including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, ocular histoplasmosis, central serous retinopathy, macular pucker and macular holes.
