At Rawlings, we believe your eyesight deserves more than just a basic check-up. That’s why every one of our branches is equipped with cutting-edge Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) — the gold standard in retinal imaging.
We also continue to offer retinal photography, giving you both modern insight and visual records of your eye health.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive imaging technique that allows us to see deep beneath the surface of your retina in exceptional detail. Unlike standard retinal photography, which captures a surface-level snapshot of the back of your eye, OCT provides a high-resolution, 3D cross-sectional view – enabling early detection of potential issues long before symptoms appear.
Think of retinal photography as the postcard – and OCT as the full documentary. Both have value, but only one tells the whole story.
OCT scans are vital for early detection and monitoring of a wide range of serious eye conditions, including:
We securely store your scans to allow direct comparisons over time – helping your Optometrist detect even the most subtle changes in your eye health, visit by visit.

While not covered by NHS eye tests, OCT is available as a premium add-on for a small additional fee.
We also allocate extra time with your optometrist to ensure your results are fully explained and any next steps are clearly understood.
