Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) OCT is a noninvasive, noncontact, imaging technology that takes images of your retinal structures with a resolution of 10 to 17 microns. Cross-sectional images of your retina are produced using the optical backscattering of light. The anatomic layers of your retina can be clearly seen and your retinal thickness measured with precision.

Trained ophthalmic photographers take color photographs of your retina. These photographs allow your physician to document and follow the progression of your eye disease.
