What is an OCT 3D Precision Exam?
- Think of it as a detailed scan of your eyes. This state-of-the-art precision exam uses light to capture microscopic, 3D cross-sectional images of your retina and optic nerve.
Key Features of New Zealand's First ZEISS OCT Examination
- Provides detailed 3D images of the retina and optic nerve to help detect subtle changes that may not be visible during standard eye examinations.
- Early Detection of Vision-Threatening Eye Conditions: Quickly and accurately captures early signs of major vision-threatening diseases (such as Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration) that have no early symptoms, helping to prevent vision loss.
- Painless, Fast & Safe Non-Contact Scan: Captures detailed, precise images in just a few seconds without physical contact or discomfort.

Seamless Referral to Albany & East Tāmaki Branches

For your convenience, after receiving your precision exam and diagnosis at the Auckland CBD Store, you can be referred to the Albany or East Tāmaki branch closer to your home. Continue receiving consistent, high-quality, personalised eye care at your preferred OPTICS 1 location.
