Optovue Avanti
We incorporated the use of the Optovue Avanti Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as an invaluable clinical resource to better diagnose and/or manage retinal diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. OCT provides a high resolution (5 micron axial) image of the retina which not only enables the doctor to better diagnose or detect retinal disease, but also to monitor known problems to prevent it/them from worsening at an earlier stage. We utilize OCT for wellness exams in order to screen for retinal disease/dysfunction, as well as diagnostically for known retinopathies (disease of the retina).
