Black & Lizars has invested in equipment now being used at the forefront of eye health care: Optical Coherence Tomography or OCT.
This exciting new technology is not commonly available in all
opticians' but now allows Black & Lizars to provide you with an
even more thorough eye test.
OCT imaging allows us to examine some of the most important parts
of your eyes in detail that we've never been able to see
before.
Using light reflected from the front or the back of the eye, the
OCT creates a highly detailed picture in or 2 or 3D. This can give
your optometrist a view of your eyes on a microscopic level,
allowing them to screen in detail for conditions such as macular
degeneration and glaucoma.
OCT imaging is available at the following practices:
Your optician can advise you on the benefits of OCT and if
necessary arrange an appointment for you to have an OCT scan
done.
In many cases you will not have to pay for an OCT scan but if you
would like to have a scan taken privately, it will cost £30.
