Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology used to obtain high-resolution images of eye tissues. This technological device is an important tool used by our expert physicians at SEVGİGÖZ to examine the anatomical structure of the eye in detail and diagnose and monitor many eye diseases.
OCT is based on the principle of measuring light reflections. A beam of light focused on eye tissues reflects from the tissues, and by measuring these reflections, information about the depths of the tissues is obtained. This allows for detailed visualization of eye structures such as retinal layers, optic nerve fibers, and the macula.
One of the most common applications of OCT is the evaluation of retinal diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. OCT images are critical for detecting abnormalities in retinal layers and monitoring the progression of the disease.

Another important application of OCT is the evaluation of intraocular pressure and optic nerve fiber thickness. These measurements are critical for the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma and are used to monitor patients' response to treatment.
