Service Overview
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is a light-based scan that builds a cross-section of your retina, much like an ultrasound — but with light instead of sound. It shows swelling, thinning, holes, and fluid under the macula long before you may notice blur. At Neera Eye Centre this scan guides treatment for diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, vein occlusions, and follow-up after injections or laser.
What It Covers
Diabetic retina review
Tracks fluid and layer damage from diabetic macular oedema.
Age-related macular change
Helps stage dry and wet AMD and plan injections when needed.
Treatment follow-up
Compares scans over time after anti-VEGF injections or laser.
Who It Is For
Diabetic patients
Anyone with diabetes who needs regular retina screening.
Sudden or gradual blur
People with distorted lines, a dark patch, or unexplained vision drop.
Injection or laser follow-up
Patients already on retina treatment who need progress checks.
How It Works
Sit at the scanner
You rest your chin and forehead; no drops are always required.
Look at the target
The machine captures thousands of light readings in a few seconds.
Review with the doctor
Your retina specialist explains the map and the next step in care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does an OCT scan hurt?
No. It is a non-contact light scan. You may be asked to keep your eyes still for a few seconds.
Do I need to dilate for OCT?
Not always. Some maps are done without drops; your doctor will advise if dilation is needed that day.
How often should I repeat OCT?
It depends on the disease. Active macular swelling may need scans every 4–8 weeks; stable eyes are reviewed less often.
