Seeing more of your eye than ever before

Eye care is not always at the top of everyone’s to-do list, but Specsavers has introduced a new hospital-quality scanner, providing customers with a level of eye care beyond what has been previously available.

This can help detect treatable eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration sooner. It can also help detect glaucoma up to four years in advance. It also means conditions can be managed before they get worse and in turn help prevent potential sight loss. Often as we get older the macular can start to degenerate and the OCT scan can detect this before you start showing any symptoms enabling your optician to provide early management and helping to prevent potential sight loss. The scan can also take a look at your disc which is where the optic nerve connects your brain with your eye. This can show if there are any issues in the area such as swelling or damage, Mill explains.
