The eyes are the windows to the brain. By understanding layers and cells of eyes, we can understand more of our ultimate mystery, the brain. Seeing the layers of live retina was not possible until OCT technology. HD-OCT shows even more details of eyes down to the individual layers. Some layers in the retina changes way before the vision changes. Macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic eye disease are some of many eye diseases that can benefit from this early detection technology. 
The eyes close association with brain also reveals changes in some systemic diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s.
Dr. Youn strongly believes the HD- OCT technology and decide to offer this futuristic diagnostic test to anyone who is interested. We use Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT ( Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomographer). If you have family history of central retinal disease or using plaquenil ( hydroxychlroloquine), or interested to analyze retinal ganglion cells in conjunction with MS or Alzheimer’s, ask us at the time of your appointment.
