Glaucoma is the name given to a group of eye conditions which affect the optic nerve as it joins the back of the eye. Most types have no symptoms, so a regular eye test is the only way to know you have the condition.
The practicalities
An OCT scan only adds a few minutes to our standard eye test. It is non-invasive, completely painless, has no known aftereffects and is not at all uncomfortable.
We do charge €10 for an OCT scan, in addition to the cost of your standard eye test.
