OCT stands for optical coherence tomography. It is a non-contact imaging test that creates cross-sectional pictures of eye tissues. It is commonly used in eye clinics to evaluate the retina, optic nerve, and sometimes the front of the eye. Clinicians use OCT to document structure, monitor change over time, and help guide diagnosis.
