What happens during an OCT scan?

  • Step 1 – Our team will register you and check your details, they will ask if you would like them to conduct a 3D OCT scan as part of your eye test.
  • Step 2 – If you opt in, during your health screening, you will be asked to place your chin on the OCT machine and focus on a light within the machine.
  • Step 3 – The scan will then begin taking a photo of the back of each of your eyes. Each eye will take less than 60 seconds.
  • Step 4 – The scan is now complete and your 3D images will be saved to your record, allowing your Optometrist to analyse your results.
  • Step 5 – Your Optometrist will then discuss the results with you. The results can be used to monitor the health of your eyes in future appointments.
