Medical Conditions - Oct

Optical coherence tomography is an imaging test that uses low-coherence light to take cross-sectional images of the retina. It can help measure the thickness of the retina and the optic nerve and detects several eye conditions like macular pucker, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. It is a safe test and does not cause any harm to the eye.
