 Bennett
& Bloom Eye Centers can now provide an even more thorough examination
and diagnosis of your retina than ever before with the STRATUSOCT™.
This cutting-edge diagnostic system allows our doctors to get a complete
cross-sectional view of your retina using an optical measurement known
as low-coherence interferometry. The technology is much like ultrasound
technology, except that it uses light rather than sound. Microscopic
picture of the macula (top) with corresponding OCT image (bottom).
The STRATUSOCT™ scans an infrared light across the retina, which
generates a cross-sectional image of the tissue in microscopic detail.
It generates a measurement of tissue and distance of up to 1/100 of
a millimeter and over 500,000 data points. This allows us to view
your retina as if it were under a microscope, enhancing our ability
to diagnose and manage a wide-range of retinal disorders, including
diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, ocular histoplasmosis,
and macular holes. |
