OCT Articles
Contains articles about Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology in relation to Laserfit scleral contact lens design process.
The OCT devices is used to scan and map the anterior of the eye in order to make custom lenses that both fits the eye like a glove and is comfortable for each individual person to use for prolonged periods of time. It is also very important in terms of stabilising the lens to be non-rotational which is required in order to correctly correct corneal aberrations.
