The Anterior Segment OCT is used to examine the tissues in the front part of the eye, including the cornea, anterior chamber, iris, and lens. The Anterior Segment OCT provides more detailed information than other imaging tests and can be used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions affecting the front part of the eye.
The Anterior Segment OCT examination is performed at the Eye See Center using the latest German device, Zeiss AngioPlex OCT for Cirrus HD-OCT 5000, which is distinguished by its high accuracy and speed. It contains all the advanced features that make it much easier for the patient to capture images and provides amazing results that greatly facilitate diagnosis. The OCT test is non-invasive and does not require any contact with the eye. The test typically takes only a few minutes and causes no pain.
