OCT (optical coherence tomography) in Grodno

An appointment for an OCT procedure can be obtained from an ophthalmologist at the VOKA Eye Microsurgery Center.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-contact method that allows you to see the structures of the eye with high resolution (from 1 to 15 microns), as well as the optical structures of the anterior segment of the eye. For these purposes, light with a wavelength of 830 nm is used for diagnosing the retina and 1310 nm for diagnosing the anterior segment of the eye.

OPTICAL TOMOGRAPHER

At the VOKA eye microsurgery center, a modern spectral optical tomograph Optopol Copernicus HR is used for optical tomography, which allows performing research with a higher resolution and several times faster compared to time-domain devices. High resolution and high scanning density, minimizing errors arising from micromovements of the eyeball during the examination, make it possible to clearly identify all layers of the retina and the inner layers of the choroid. This is extremely important for choosing management tactics and assessing the effectiveness of treatment for patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), epiretinal macular membranes and other pathologies of the vitreomacular interface.

INDICATIONS FOR OCT PROCEDURE

Optical coherence tomography is recommended when diagnosing the following pathologies:

• glaucoma;
• diabetic retinopathy;
• thrombosis of the central retinal vein;
• macular holes and retinal edema;
• retinal dystrophy of various origins and other eye diseases.

RESEARCH RESULTS

The results of the study are displayed in the form of color protocols, tables and maps, which allows you to objectify changes in the structure of the eye. OCT allows you to monitor the effectiveness of the procedures performed, as well as the effect of the prescribed therapy.
