Kingston optician Eyecare Opticians (020 8549 0331) updates its eye exams with AI-enhanced OCT scanning that detects wet macular degeneration before symptoms appear. It combines with Optomap technology for comprehensive eye health screening during 45-minute personalized exams.
-- Eyecare Opticians, an independent practice in Kingston upon Thames, now offers advanced OCT scanning technology to detect wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) before symptoms appear. The REVO-OCT Wellness Scan produces detailed retinal cross-sections, revealing fluid or blood beneath the macula, key indicators of wet AMD that require prompt medical attention.

The practice pairs OCT with Optomap ultra-widefield retinal photography, which captures over 80% of the retina in a single, contact-free image. These technologies work together to screen for AMD, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and other conditions during one visit. Early detection of these conditions significantly improves treatment outcomes and helps preserve vision.
Consultant Optometrist Nish Fofaria, who founded the clinic in 2009 after practicing since 2002, allocates 45 minutes for adult eye tests. This extended appointment time allows for thorough examination and personalized prescription discussions based on lifestyle needs. The unhurried approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive care and understand their eye health status.
The REVO-OCT system features AI-assisted denoising and motion correction that improve image clarity. For patients with wet AMD, these images help optometrists confirm diagnosis, initiate referrals, and assess treatment effectiveness, including anti-VEGF injections. The technology provides near-cellular views of the retina's layers, allowing for precise monitoring of changes over time.
Wet AMD, characterized by abnormal blood vessel growth under the retina, can cause rapid vision loss if left untreated. The condition often develops without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Regular OCT scans can identify the earliest signs of wet AMD, enabling timely intervention before permanent vision loss occurs.
Located at 307 Richmond Road in Ham, Kingston upon Thames, the practice operates Monday through Friday from 9:30 to 17:30 and Saturday from 9:30 to 16:30.
The clinic offers additional services including myopia-control programs, dry eye management, custom contact lenses, and designer eyewear. This comprehensive approach to eye care addresses both medical and vision correction needs in one location.
