OCT Eye Scans & Enhanced Sight Tests in Adlington, Darwen & Westhoughton
“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?”
— Henry David Thoreau
Enhanced Eye Tests with OCT Scanning – Advanced Eye Health Check
At Susan Hilton Opticians, we offer enhanced sight tests that include Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanning, a quick and painless 3D scan of the retina.
This advanced scan provides detailed information about your eye health and can detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, diabetes-related eye changes, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and more.
What is an OCT Eye Scan?
An OCT scan is an advanced imaging technology that captures detailed cross-sectional images of the retina — the back part of your eye. By examining the different layers of your retina, our optometrists can spot early signs of eye disease before symptoms appear, allowing for timely management and treatment.
How the OCT Scan Works
The scan takes just a few minutes and is non-invasive and painless.
It can be added to the end of your regular eye test for £20.
Recommended for adults over 18 and anyone with a history of glaucoma or diabetes.
Why Choose an OCT Scan?
Many eye conditions progress silently and may only become noticeable once they are advanced. An OCT scan allows us to:
Detect early signs of glaucoma or macular degeneration
Monitor changes in the retina for patients with diabetes
Provide a more detailed assessment than a standard eye test
Give peace of mind about your overall eye health
