  The REVO OCT can detect early signs of the major eye diseases which  constitute 80% of world blindness: Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Age related Macular Degeneration,  and other retinal pathologies. One of the unique benefits of the REVO OCT is that it provides an objective  analysis of your retina (back-of-the-eye) in one scan.  

When you take the REVO OCT examination for the first time you  get a complete analysis of the back of your eye (the retinal layers) where many eye diseases start. Your  results are automatically compared to a normative database and if there are any suspicious findings you  will be referred to an eye specialist for further investigation. When you return for your periodical follow-up  examination, your results are also compared to your first (baseline) results to see if there have been any  changes since your last check up. Because these diseases are symptomless in their early stages, when you  take the REVO OCT examination you can be sure that there are no eye diseases “sneaking up” on you. 

Yes! General health does not necessarily prevent  retinal diseases and not all retinal diseases are associated with old age. The problem is that these  diseases “sneak up on you”. There is no pain, there are hardly any symptoms, and waiting until there  is vision loss before going to see a doctor – may be too late! The damage is irreversible. The point is to  detect it as early as possible so you can start treatment and prevent vision loss.  

If the REVO OCT finds an abnormal parameter – we will  refer you to an eye specialist with the REVO OCT scan results which will tell him/her what to look for and  where. But even if the exam does not find anything, and hopefully that will be the case, we will still have a  baseline examination, which we can use for a yearly follow up on the health of your eyes.  

Most eye diseases develop slowly over time, and  some are symptomless until their advanced stages. Every time you take the REVO OCT exam – your results  are automatically compared to your previous exam because even subtle changes in your retina can be  indicative of a retinal disease.  

The exam itself takes only a matter of seconds per eye. It is quick, painless  and non-invasive 

Most optometrists will  examine the front part of your eye – your cornea and lens and only the retinal surface. (Fundus imaging).  The REVO OCT scans all the layers of the retina, the surface and beneath the surface. 80% of blindness is  caused by back-of-the-eye diseases, so it is very important to get a periodical objective and quantitative  assessment of all the layers of the retina. In addition the REVO OCT will also assess the anterior chamber,  the front part of the eye which further enhances any previous corneal and lens examinations. 

Yes. Within many hospitals OCT scans  are commonly used and the REVO OCT scans and analytical results can easily be interpreted. 

Generally, the REVO OCT needs a “clear path” in order to  scan. Severe cataract will make it difficult to complete the exam. However, if the cataract is in its early  stages and depending on where it is located, usually the REVO OCT can bypass it and still acquire a good  informative scan. Back-of-the-eye examinations are very important to your vision wellness, so taking the  REVO OCT exam is worth a try, even if you have cataract.  

In most cases the REVO OCT does not require pupil dilation. We can  usually measure through pupils as small as 3mm. 

If your pupils are not dilated there is no problem to drive  after the exam. The REVO OCT examination only uses a few flashes of light for each scan. if dilation is  required then consult with your optometrist who will advise accordingly. 

Yes, the REVO OCT can compensate for  most refractive corrections. 

 Yes, generally there should be no problem doing the  exam with contact lenses.
