Optical Coherence Tomography                                              

Optical Coherence Tomography
It’s called Optical Coherence Tomography, “OCT” for short. OCT is a non-invasive technology used for imaging the retina, the multi-layered sensory tissue lining the back of the eye. OCT, the first instrument to allow doctors to see cross-sectional images of the retina, is revolutionizing the early detection and treatment of eye conditions such as macular holes, pre-retinal membranes, macular swelling and even optic nerve damage.

Collagen Tears Punctal Plug for Dry Eye Treatment                                
collagen tears punctal plug for dry eye treatment    

punctal plug is a small medical device that is inserted into the tear duct (puncta) of an eye to block the duct. This prevents the drainage of liquid from the eye. They are used to treat dry eye.

A temporary punctal occlusion can be inserted and tried first. These are made of collagen and are dissolvable.
This is to ascertain that permanent ones will not cause excessive tearing.

Permanent punctal plugs are usually made of silicone. Some plugs are made of thermally reactive material. Some of these are inserted into the punctum as a liquid and then they harden and conform to the individual's drainage system. Others start out rigid and become soft and flexible, adapting to the individual's punctal size after they are inserted.
Artificial tears are usually still required after punctal plug insertion.
