Eyes….we only have one pair, so you would think that we would take better care of them.
We have all been guilty of putting off our next eye examination; sometimes it’s our first eye examination. We justify our lack of action by convincing ourselves that what we see is normal, we can see it’s not an issue. Squinting to read your book, must be because you are tired. The blurry vision will pass, it wasn’t there yesterday. The floater you see is just because you have something in your eye. The flashes you see are due to the change of light. Whatever excuse you use, you don’t know whether there is an issue with the health of your eyes and vision until you have a comprehensive eye exam.
So, when booking your next eye examination, raise the standard of care you give your eyes and include an OCT Scan.
Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) is similar to an ultrasound. This diagnostic technique employs light rather than sound waves to achieve higher resolution images of the structural layers of the back of the eye. The details on these images mean that the smallest change can be picked up before you even notice, revolutionizing early detection and treatment of eye-conditions such as wet and dry age-related macular degeneration, Glaucoma, Retinal Detachment and Diabetic Retinopathy.
Don’t put it off, book an eye examination and OCT scan today.
