OCT technology is a new, state-of-the-art way to analyze and document the optic nerve and retina inside the eye. This quick, painless scan can give the doctor additional insights into eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetes, macular
degeneration and more.
This "iWellness" test allows for earlier detection of these potentially sight
threatening conditions and offers information the doctor was previously unable to see with conventional techniques. This test, however, is not included in your vision or medical plan, and as a result, a $35.00 fee will be your responsibility for this enhanced level of service. For patients newly or previously diagnosed with related ocular conditions, the test can then be billed to medical insurance plans.
The doctors at our office recommend the iWellness scan be performed on all adult patients. For questions on the scan please ask any Fowle Eyecare staff member and they will be happy to assist you.
