OCT Scanning

Advanced OCT Eye Scanning in Palmers Green

Early Detection, Deeper Insight, Better Eye Health

At Harley Bain Opticians in Palmers Green, we’re proud to offer state-of-the-art OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scanning — one of the most advanced eye imaging technologies available today.

This hospital-grade equipment allows us to look beneath the surface of the eye, detecting early signs of serious eye conditions long before symptoms appear. It’s non-invasive, fast, and completely painless.

👁 What is OCT?

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a highly detailed imaging scan of your eye. It works a bit like an ultrasound but uses light waves instead of sound to capture high-resolution, 3D images of the layers inside your eye — especially the retina and optic nerve.

🛡 Why is OCT Important?

OCT scans allow us to detect, monitor, and manage a range of eye conditions — often before vision is affected. These include:

• Glaucoma – detect changes to the optic nerve early

• Macular degeneration (AMD) – identify early signs of dry or wet AMD

• Diabetic retinopathy – track damage from diabetes before symptoms occur

• Macular holes or puckers

• Retinal detachment risks

• Optic nerve swelling and other neurological conditions

🔍 What to Expect During Your OCT Scan

• Quick and comfortable – the scan takes just a few minutes

• Non-contact – no drops, no puff of air, no discomfort

• Instant results – we’ll walk you through the images and explain what they show

• Peace of mind – catch concerns early and monitor changes over time

🧿 Who Should Have an OCT Scan?

OCT scanning is especially recommended for:

• Anyone over 40

• Those with a family history of glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetes

• Patients with existing eye health concerns

• People who want the most thorough eye health check available

Even if you’re not experiencing symptoms, an OCT scan can be a vital part of your preventative eye care.
