Seeing More, Earlier: Advanced OCT Scanning Now at Optique 20/20

At Optique 20/20 in Hampstead, exceptional eye care has always been about more than clear vision — it’s about understanding the health of your eyes in depth, with precision, care and foresight. We are delighted to now offer full OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scanning, using the state-of-the-art REVO OCT system, bringing hospital-grade diagnostic technology into our practice.

This advanced imaging service allows us to see what was once invisible, providing unparalleled insight into the delicate structures at the back of the eye — often years before symptoms arise.

What is OCT scanning?

OCT scanning is a non-invasive, pain-free imaging technique that captures highly detailed, cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve. Often described as an “optical ultrasound,” OCT allows us to visualise the individual layers of the retina with extraordinary clarity, helping to detect subtle changes that cannot be seen during a standard eye examination alone.

With the REVO OCT, we can assess eye health at a microscopic level — quickly, comfortably and with remarkable accuracy.

Why the REVO OCT?

We have chosen the REVO OCT system for its exceptional image resolution, speed and diagnostic depth. This technology is trusted in leading ophthalmic clinics worldwide and represents the gold standard in retinal and optic nerve imaging.

The REVO OCT enables us to:

Detect early signs of glaucoma, often before vision is affected
Monitor macular health, including early macular degeneration
Identify retinal conditions such as fluid build-up or thinning
Track subtle changes over time with precise comparative scans

For our patients, this means greater reassurance, earlier intervention and more informed clinical decisions.

A more complete eye examination

OCT scanning is particularly valuable for patients with:

A family history of eye disease
Diabetes or systemic health concerns
High prescriptions
Previous eye conditions
A desire for the most thorough eye health assessment available

However, even in eyes that appear perfectly healthy, OCT can reveal early structural changes long before symptoms are noticed — making it an invaluable part of proactive, preventative eye care.

At Optique 20/20, we believe that seeing more allows us to care better.

Advanced care, thoughtfully delivered

While the technology is cutting-edge, the experience remains reassuringly calm and personal. Your OCT scan is performed in-practice, takes only a few minutes, and is followed by a clear explanation of the results from our experienced clinical team.

There is no discomfort, no contact with the eye, and no recovery time — just detailed insight into your eye health, presented in a way that is easy to understand.
