OCT works similar to an ultrasound examination, but instead of sound waves, laser beams are used to show tissue density in different areas based on the reflection. The use of low energy laser light enables a resolution about 20-times higher than that of conventional ultrasound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x grid-padding-x block-bild-text le medium-margin-collapse\">\n\t  <div class=\"cell medium-4 large-4\">\n\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"singleImg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" class=\"bt-img\" src=\"https:\/\/augenklinik-bern.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/OCT-300x300.jpg\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"singleImgCaption\">OCT (optical coherence tomography)<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t  \n\t  <\/div>\n\t  <div class=\"cell medium-8 large-8\"><p>As a modern examination method, OCT is particularly helpful for various diseases of the ocular fundus.
