The importance of the Cirrus HD-OCT when examining the retina can be compared to diagnose a broken arm without an x-ray or a ruptured disc without an MRI. The cross-sectional retinal imaging offers individual layers of the retina, which enables the optometrist to see and measure delicate structures and monitor any changes. This enables detection of several retinal disorders such as Macular Degeneration and Glaucoma.
