    OCT screening at Barnham Opticians
    Your eyes are an invaluable part of your health, and OCT scans play an important role in helping to look after them.
    With an OCT screening our optometrists can not only provide an early diagnosis for many ocular conditions, but also create a record of the health and condition of your eyes. This helps our Optoms with both future diagnoses and monitoring existing issues.
    An OCT scan can be beneficial for anyone regardless of age but highly recommended if you’re over 60 or if you have a history with eye problems.

    Description & Process

    At Barnham Opticians your comfort and eye health is our number one priority. We understand that you may have a busy schedule, or may have concerns about possible discomfort during an OCT screening. These scans non-invasive, painless, simple and quick – normally taking only a few minutes, so you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your eyes are in good condition without having to worry about barriers that may deter or prevent you from having a screening.

    How a Screening Benefits You

    An OCT uses light to image different layers that make up the structures at the front and back of your eye, capturing both a photograph and a cross-sectional scan of your eyes at the same time, providing high resolution 3D images. This allows for easy checks for potentially serious conditions, giving you both an instant and early diagnosis. What’s more, the software can automatically detect even the most subtle changes to the retina with every eye test you have – giving you an invaluable ongoing record of the health and condition of your eyes.

    What does an OCT scan show?

    An OCT screening can detect various ocular conditions that could be harmful to your health.

    This includes the following –

    • Glaucoma
    • Diabetes
    • Macular degeneration
    • Macular holes
    • Vitreous detachments
    • Extremely subtle retina changes

After examining the high resolution images of your eyes using built-in analysis tools, any future scans can be compared with previous ones. If you’re interested in keeping an all-important record of your ocular health, and want to insure that any harmful conditions are detected as early as possible, an OCT scan would be extremely beneficial to you.

      Since arriving in Sussex needed to find a new local Opticians and found Barnham Opticians. An independent opticians based in Barnham, West Sussex who have a great team of Optometrist’s and support team who are well led by Mandy. A very personal and professional service on all visits. Highly Recommended.

      We found Barnham after Sight & Sound closed down and being very disappointed with the next opticians we went to. Once we new Sue was here we transferred immediately and were so glad we did. We get the same exemplary quality of care and after test service in choosing frames etc that we had enjoyed before.

      Barnham Opticians are fantastic. I had an eye exam and chose a new pair of spectacles today. The eye exam was thorough and options to improve my sight were also discussed. The spectacle choice is vast and varied but with the expert help of Mandy I was able to chose the right pair for me. The whole experience was relaxed and I was offered a coffee and biscuits thought the process! All of the staff were fantastic. I look forward to receiving my new spectacles soon!!! Thank you x

      My first experience of an eye test at Barnham Opticians and I would definitely recommend them, as the customer service was second to none. I was greeted with a lovely smile from Kate the receptionist and Simon the Optometrist was very professional. My glasses were dispensed by Sue who again was extremely helpful and professional. Please help support our independent businesses. Will certainly be returning.

      As it was near to where I live and on a local bus route thought I would give it a try. I have tried most opticians in the local towns and further a field, but have had problems with all of them for over 40yesrs. Having to go backwards and forwards because of unable to see properly out of new glasses. Here the staff were very friendly, the eye examination was very through. The new glasses fitted perfectly and I could see perfectly, amazing. Yep 5 stars for Barnham Opticians
