A member asked:
Can an eye oct scan pick up any pressure in the eyes? i didnt have the eye pressure test so wondering if oct can pick up pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OCT: Optical coherence tomography used light waves to evaluate retinal layers and the optic nerve. It doesn’t measure pressure but can visualize results of glaucoma. Ask eye doctor regarding your particulars.
