At Chetna Hospital, we are committed to staying at the forefront of medical technology to provide our patients with the best possible care. We are excited to introduce the latest addition to our diagnostic arsenal: the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) machine from Huvitz. This state-of-the-art equipment revolutionizes the way we diagnose and monitor various eye conditions, allowing for early detection and effective treatment.
What is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)?
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-sectional pictures of your retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. This advanced technology provides high-resolution images that help our ophthalmologists see each of the retina’s distinctive layers. By measuring these layers’ thickness, OCT aids in the early detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of eye diseases.
Conditions That OCT Helps to Diagnose
The OCT machine is a powerful tool in diagnosing a wide range of eye conditions, including:
- Macular Hole: A small break in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision.
- Macular Pucker: A condition where the macula’s surface becomes wrinkled, leading to distorted and blurred vision.
- Macular Edema: Swelling or thickening of the macula due to fluid accumulation.
- Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD): A common eye condition among people over 50, causing damage to the macula and leading to loss of central vision.
- Glaucoma: A group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often associated with increased pressure in the eye.
- Central Serous Retinopathy:A condition where fluid builds up under the retina, causing visual impairment.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to the blood vessels in the retina caused by complications of diabetes, leading to vision problems and potentially blindness.
- Vitreous Traction:A condition where the vitreous gel inside the eye pulls on the retina, which can lead to retinal detachment.
- Abnormal Blood Vessels: Detection of abnormal growth of blood vessels in the retina, often related to diseases like AMD and diabetic retinopathy.
- Blood Vessel Blockage: Identification of blockages in the blood vessels of the retina, which can lead to vision loss.
