At Scott Waters Opticians, we use advanced OCT technology to provide highly detailed assessments of your eye health. OCT scans allow our optometrists to examine the retina, optic nerve, and deeper structures of the eye with exceptional accuracy, helping to identify subtle changes that may not be visible during a standard eye examination.
Optical Coherence Tomography, commonly known as OCT, is a quick, comfortable, and non-invasive scan that produces detailed cross-sectional images of the eye. This allows us to detect, monitor, and manage a wide range of eye conditions at an earlier stage, often before noticeable symptoms develop.

An OCT scan uses light waves to create detailed images of the layers within the retina and optic nerve. The scan takes only a few moments to perform and does not involve any contact with the eye.
The images produced provide valuable clinical information that helps our optometrists build a more complete picture of your eye health. OCT technology enables us to identify changes that may otherwise go undetected during a routine eye examination.
At Scott Waters Opticians, we have invested in the Topcon Triton OCT, one of the most advanced retinal imaging systems available in modern optometric practice.
The Topcon Triton combines high-resolution OCT imaging with widefield retinal scanning, allowing us to assess both the central retina and wider retinal structures in exceptional detail. This advanced technology helps support earlier detection, more accurate diagnosis, and ongoing monitoring of many eye conditions.
By capturing detailed images of the retina and optic nerve, we can compare scans over time and monitor even small changes in eye health with confidence.
Many serious eye conditions develop gradually and may not cause noticeable symptoms in their early stages. OCT imaging provides an additional layer of clinical information that can help identify potential concerns before vision is affected.
OCT scans can assist with the detection and monitoring of:
The ability to monitor changes over time allows us to make more informed clinical decisions and provide proactive eye care tailored to your needs.
An OCT eye scan can benefit patients of all ages, but it is particularly valuable for:
Our optometrists can advise whether OCT imaging would be beneficial based on your individual eye health and risk factors.
At Scott Waters Opticians, we are committed to combining clinical expertise with the latest diagnostic technology to provide comprehensive eye care for patients throughout Newbury and Berkshire. Our investment in advanced equipment helps us deliver more detailed assessments, earlier detection, and greater peace of mind for our patients.
