Heidelberg Spectralis OCT

Optical coherence tomography can detect a wide range of eye conditions, and it is ideal for managing existing ones.

  • Takes only a few seconds, and you can blink normally
  • The camera does not touch your eye
  • Normally no bright flashes or dilating drops
  • Results are available straight away
