Having your eyes regularly scanned will help detect the earliest signs of change. Spectralis 4D OCT scanning helps spot the earliest of changes first. If such changes are found and are treatable (in the case of wet macular degeneration) then early treatment can dramatically improve the effectivity of the treatment.
If you have been diagnosed with macular degeneration, make sure you have your eyes examined and scanned once a year or immediately if you notice any visual deterioration.
The best OCT scan for detecting and monitoring Macula Degeneration is again the autofluorescence scan. As mentioned in the dry macular degeneration information, autofluorescence analyses the cellular activity of your retina, detecting retinal and macular degeneration earlier than ever before leading to more efficient treatment.
