STRATUS™ OCT and Cirrus™ HD-OCT

Bennett & Bloom Eye Centers can now provide an even more thorough examination and diagnosis of your retina than ever before with the STRATUS™ OCT and Cirrus™ high-definition OCT. These cutting-edge diagnostic systems allow our doctors to get a complete cross-sectional or 3-dimensional view of your retina using an optical measurement known as low-coherence interferometry. The technology is much like ultrasonography, except that OCT uses light instead of sound to generate images.

These units scan an infrared light across the retina, which produces retinal images of microscopic quality. They can measure distances as small as 0.05 millimeters and collect over 27 million data points per second! This allows us to view your retina in previously unobtainable detail, enhancing our ability to diagnose and manage a wide-range of retinal disorders, including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, ocular histoplasmosis, central serous retinopathy, macular pucker, and macular holes.
