OCT Eye Scans at Rock Opticians
See More. Know More. Protect Your Vision.
At Rock Opticians, we’re proud to bring you the latest in eye care technology — the Maestro2 OCT scanner. This powerful, cutting-edge scan allows us to detect serious eye conditions years earlier than standard methods — helping you protect your vision before problems begin.
Don’t Just Test Your Eyes — Truly Understand Them
Most eye conditions develop silently.
An OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scan looks beneath the surface, revealing what standard tests can miss.
Think of it as a health check for your vision — giving you reassurance today and protection for tomorrow.
Why Choose an OCT Scan?
✔ Earlier detection of sight-threatening conditions
✔ More accurate diagnosis and monitoring
✔ Quick – takes just seconds
✔ Completely painless and non-invasive
✔ Provides peace of mind about your eye health
What Can an OCT Scan Detect?
OCT scans are vital in identifying early signs of serious, sight-threatening conditions, including:
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
- Macular Holes
- Retinal Detachment
Many of these conditions develop without noticeable symptoms — making early detection crucial.
Is It Safe?
Yes — OCT scans are:
- Completely safe
- Non-invasive
- Pain-free
- No known risks
What Happens During the Scan?
- You simply place your chin on a rest
- A light scans your eye (no contact)
- The scan takes just a few seconds
- Results are reviewed by your optometrist
In some cases, we may use eye drops to widen your pupils for a clearer view — this is completely routine.
OCT Scan vs Standard Eye Test
A regular eye test checks:
- Your vision (how well you see)
- General eye health
An OCT scan goes further:
- Looks beneath the surface
- Detects hidden conditions before symptoms appear
- Provides a baseline for future comparisons
👉 Together, they give the most complete picture of your eye health.
Who Should Have an OCT Scan?
OCT scans are beneficial for everyone, but especially recommended if you:
- Are 25 years or older
- Are over 40–50 (routine monitoring recommended)
- Have diabetes or high blood pressure
- Have a family history of eye disease
- Are at risk of or being monitored for glaucoma
- Have noticed changes in vision, headaches, or eye strain
- Have had previous eye conditions or surgery
💡 Even if your eyes feel perfectly fine, having a baseline scan helps us track any changes over time.

✔ Early Detection - Spot problems before they affect your vision
✔ Accurate Diagnosis - Detailed imaging improves clinical decision-making
✔ Ongoing Monitoring - Track even the smallest changes over time
