Unveiling the World of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – Your Optometrist’s Focus on Advanced Eye Health
In the ever-evolving eye care landscape, one term that often surfaces is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). But what does this intricate-sounding process involve, and why might your optometrist recommend it?
Let’s delve further and discuss how performing an OCT at your next eye test supports your vision needs.
Your Next Eye Test – Why Consider an OCT?
- Early Detection and Prevention: By revealing potential issues early, an OCT allows optometrists to proactively address emerging eye conditions, hopefully preventing them from escalating into serious problems. As the adage states, “To be forewarned is to be forearmed.” The detailed information an OCT can gather gives your eye care provider valuable information for future eye health prospects.
- Personalised Care: In cases where family history or existing conditions may increase your risk of eye diseases, an OCT allows for tailored and precise eye health monitoring.
Unravelling the Cost – Your Investment in Clear Vision
While most eye test services are covered under the Medicare bulk billing program, an OCT may incur additional out-of-pocket expenses. However, this investment in your eye health can be a game-changer. Many private Health Fund providers recognise the value of OCT scans, and some offer reimbursements to their members. Viewing this cost as a proactive measure, safeguarding your vision and well-being, peace of mind, and knowing that your vision is in safe hands has great value.
Considering OCT services were once the domain of ophthalmology and specialist services (often costing hundreds of dollars), Optical Superstore endeavours to keep costs to a minimum. The current pricing for this highly valuable service is $40.
