Behind our 4D HD Eye Scan is the Heidelberg Engineering SPECTRALIS — sophisticated ophthalmic imaging technology used for detailed assessment of the retina and optic nerve.

It combines high-resolution OCT with scanning laser imaging and advanced eye-tracking technology.

Its follow-up capabilities allow us to return to the same retinal location on future scans, helping your optometrist make meaningful comparisons and monitor subtle changes over time.

For you, however, the technology has one purpose:

To give us more information about your eyes, so we can look after them better.

What is a 4D HD Eye Scan?

Our 4D HD Eye Scan uses OCT technology to create highly detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, macula and optic nerve.

Think of it as being able to look through the different layers at the back of your eye, rather than simply looking at the surface.

This allows your optometrist to examine tiny structural details and identify subtle changes that may not be apparent using conventional examination techniques alone.

The scan is quick, painless and non-contact.

Seeing beneath the surface

Looking at the retina during an eye examination provides important information about your eye health. But our 4D HD Eye Scan takes this considerably further. It allows us to examine detailed structures within the:

This additional information can be particularly valuable because some eye conditions begin causing structural changes before they cause noticeable symptoms.
