Eyelines Opticians launches advanced retinal OCT scanning services to help detect wet and dry macular degeneration early. The new diagnostic technology provides detailed retinal imaging for improved eye health monitoring and treatment planning.
-- The new retinal OCT scanning service offers patients advanced diagnostic capabilities for detecting age-related macular degeneration (AMD) at its earliest stages. This cutting-edge technology uses light waves to create detailed cross-sectional images of the retina and macula.

The recent announcement gives Sevenoaks residents access to advanced diagnostic technology for comprehensive eye health assessments. With optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning, clinicians can detect both wet and dry forms of macular degeneration before patients notice any symptoms.
OCT uses high-resolution imaging to reveal the retina’s structure in fine detail, helping identify early signs of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Dry AMD, the more common form, occurs when parts of the macula thin and small deposits called drusen develop beneath the retina. In contrast, wet AMD is caused by abnormal blood vessels growing under the retina, which can leak fluid or blood and lead to rapid vision loss if untreated.
Patients can now receive OCT scans as part of routine eye examinations at the practice. The non-invasive procedure typically takes five to ten minutes, requiring patients to rest their chin on a support while the machine scans the eye. In some cases, dilating drops may be used to improve the accuracy of the exam.
The independent optician, serving families in Sevenoaks and the surrounding areas since 1985, also offers a range of eye care services including comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, myopia control, and dry eye clinics. Flexible payment options are also available to accommodate patients’ needs.
According to a representative, “Early detection of macular degeneration can make a significant difference in preserving our patients’ vision. OCT scanning allows us to identify retinal changes before vision loss occurs, giving us the best opportunity to monitor and manage the condition effectively.”
The addition of OCT scanning enhances the practice’s existing diagnostic services. Appointments are available Monday through Saturday, with extended weekday hours for added convenience.
