Yu want fɔ no gud gud wan bɔt di wɛlbɔdi we yu yay gɛt? Dɔn lɛ wi lan bɔt di (OCT) tɛst!

Yu dɔn ɛva du ɛgzam fɔ yu yay? We yu du dat, yu dɔktɔ go tɛl yu fɔ du spɛshal tɛst. Wan kayn spɛshal, rili impɔtant tɛst we wi go tɔk bɔt tide na in dɛn kɔl di OCT. Nɔ wɔri, i rili simpul ɛn i nɔ gɛt pen.

Wetin na dis (OCT)?

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) na spɛshal we we kin tek pikchɔ fɔ wetin de insay yu yay. I tan lɛk ɔltra saund skan fɔ luk insay yu bɔdi, bɔt dɛn kin du dis wan pan yu yay. I de yuz infrared layt, we nɔ de ambɔg di yay ɛn we wi nɔ de si, fɔ tek pikchɔ fɔ di layt dɛn we de insay yu yay. I kin si klia wan di pat dɛn we rili impɔtant na di bak pat na di yay, lɛk di retina ɛn di optik nɛv . I tan lɛk rial ay skan. Wit dis, dɔktɔ dɛn kin no aw yu yay dip, chɛk difrɛn pat dɛn, ɛn no ɛn trit ɛni sik we yu gɛt.

sכmtεm dεn kin kכl dis "ocular coherence tomography", "okular" minin we riliyt to di yay. Naw, dɛn nɔ de yuz OCT tɛknɔlɔji fɔ yay nɔmɔ, bɔt dɛn de yuz ɔda sik dɛn bak. Fɔ ɛgzampul, dɛn kin yuz am fɔ tin dɛn lɛk fɔ chɛk di blɔd vesel (Angiography). Spɛshal pipul dɛn we sabi bɔt at, nyurolɔji, ɛn ɔnkɔlɔji dɔn no bak se dis we fɔ du tin kin bɛnifit.

Ustɛm a fɔ gɛt dis (OCT) tɛst?

Yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ du OCT tɛst bay di sayn dɛn we yu gɛt ɔ sɔntin we dɛn si we dɛn de du yu yay ɛgzam. Fɔ ɛgzampul, if yu gɛt chenj na yu yay ɔ if yu dɔktɔ tink se sɔntin nɔ fayn na yu yay, dɛn kin luk wetin de apin.

Dɔn bak, sɔm ay prɔblɛm dɛn de we kin kam wit di ej we kin kam wit di ej, so fɔ di wan dɛn we de pan denja fɔ dɛn, ɔ we de pan denja fɔ gɛt ɔda ay sik, di dɔktɔ kin se dɛn fɔ mek dɛn du OCT skan wit dɛn ay ɛgzam ɔltɛm. Dɔn dɛn kin tek dɛn skan ya wan wan tɛm ɛn kɔmpia dɛn fɔ si if ɛni chenj de. I tan lɛk se wi de kip rɛkɔd bɔt di wɛlbɔdi we wi yay gɛt.

Us kayn yay sik OCT kin ɛp fɔ no ɛn trit?

Di dɔktɔ dɛn we de mɛn yu yay kin yuz dis (OCT) tɛst fɔ chɛk di retina ɛn di optik nɛv we de biɛn yu yay. E kin ɛp fɔ no difrɛn kayn sik wae kin afɛkt yu yay. Na sɔm ɛgzampul dɛn ya:

• Glɔkoma: .insay dis kes, di prεshכn we de insay di yay kin inkrεs εn pwεl di optik nεv. (OCT) yu kin yuz fכ si aw dis damej de rich εn di tik we di nεv fayba layεr tik.
• Macular Degeneration: Dis na kɔmɔn tin we kin apin as wi de ol. di makula, we na di pat pan di yay usay wi de si klia wan, dɔn pwɛl. OCT kin ɛp fɔ no di kayn, if i dray ɔ wet, ɛn aw i dɔn pwɛl.
• Makula ɛdima we gɛt fɔ du wit dayabitis: Na big prɔblɛm we kin apin to pipul dɛn we gɛt dayabitis. di makula de swel bikoz fכ di wata we de kכmכt. optik kohεrεns tכmכgrafi (OCT) kin mכsu kכrekt wan aw dis swεl de.

• Posita Vitreous Detachment: Dis kin kכmכn bak wit di ej. Sɔntɛnde, OCT skan kin ɛp fɔ si if i de afɛkt di retina.
• Sεntri Sεrous Rεtinopathy: Dis na kכndyushכn we wata de bכku כnda di rεtina, we kin mek yu si blכr. yu kin si dis fכluid layεr klia wan wit (OCT).

Sɔntɛnde, dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz OCT bak fɔ luk di fɔs pat pan di yay, lɛk di kɔnia ɛn di ayris. Dis kin ɛp fɔ no di prɔblɛm dɛn we de na di fɔs pat pan di yay ɔ ɛp fɔ plan fɔ ɔpreshɔn di yay.

Aw dis (OCT) tɛst de wok?

I rili simpul. Yu dɔn yɛri bɔt ɔltra saund skan? I de yuz sawnd wev fɔ sɛn insay di bɔdi ɛn afta dat i de mek pikchɔ as dɛn de bounce bak. OCT na di sem tin, bɔt instead fɔ yuz sawnd wev, i de yuz rɛd layt we wi nɔ de si.we dεn layt rayt dεm ya hit di tisu dεm we de insay yu yay εn bכns bak, dεn de mek tri-dimεnshכnal (3D) kכros-sekshכnal imej dεm. Dis min se yu kin si wetin de insay yu yay layt bay layt . Tink bɔt am lɛk we yu de kɔt kek krɔs.

Dis nɔ de ambɔg di yay ɛni we. Natin nɔ de go insay di yay. Na wan we we rili sef.

Wetin kin apin we dɛn de du (OCT) tɛst?

Dis na tɛst we kin rili kwik ɛn yu kin dɔn insay jɔs sɔm minit. Dɛn kin du am rayt na yu dɔktɔ in ɔfis. No spɛshal pripia nɔ nid fɔ de. Yu kin ivin du am jɔs afta yu de chɛk yu yay ɔltɛm.

Bifo di tɛst, dɛn kin gi yu ay drɔp fɔ mek yu pupil big. Dis go ɛp yu fɔ si di insay pat pan yu yay klia wan. Dɔn dɛn go aks yu fɔ sidɔm bifo di skan ɛn rɛst yu chin pan sɔpɔt we dɛn tay pan am. Dɛn go aks yu fɔ luk stret wan grɛn layt.

Di (OCT) skan de skan wan yay wan wan tɛm. Yu go si wan rɛd layn we dɛn de skan. Yu nɔ go fil ɛnitin, ɛn natin nɔ go bit yu yay. Na wan ɔ tu minit nɔmɔ i kin tek fɔ skan wan yay. I impɔtant fɔ kip yu yay na wan ples we yu nɔ de muv yu ed insay dis tɛm. Dis na di wangren we fɔ gɛt klia pikchɔ.

Ɛni bad tin de we kin apin to dis?

Nɔ, di (OCT) tɛst insɛf nɔ gɛt ɛni risk ɔ sayd ɛfɛkt. I de 100% sef. Bɔt lɛk aw a bin dɔn tɔk, if yu yuz mɛrɛsin fɔ mek di yay in yay big (pupil dilation), yu kin gɛt sɔm smɔl diskɔmfɔt fɔ sɔm tɛm afta dat. Fɔ ɛgzampul:

• Yu kin fil lɛk layt: Dis min se yu yay kin fil blu we yu de go na do na di san. If yu wɛr sanglas, dat kin ɛp fɔ ridyus dis.
• Blɔri vishɔn: Dis kin notis mɔ we yu luk klos.

dis dεm kin sכlv kכmplit wan insay fכ awa (lεk 4-6 awa). Sɔm pipul dɛn kin gɛt ed we de at bak.

So, if dɛn de tɛst yu wit dɛn kayn mɛrɛsin ya, i go fayn fɔ mek ɔda pɔsin drayv yu go na os, ɔ nɔ drayv, bikɔs i kin tek sɔm tɛm fɔ mek yu si fayn bak.

Us kayn rizulyt dɛn kin gɛt? Wetin dɛn de tɛl wi?

Yu ay spɛshal dɔktɔ (OCT) go tek tɛm stɔdi di pikchɔ dɛn we dɛn tek frɔm di skan. Di pikchɔ dɛn tan lɛk map we de sho insay yu yay. If yu dɔn du skan bifo tɛm, dɛn go kɔmpia dɛn nyu pikchɔ ya wit dɛn pikchɔ dɛn de fɔ si if ɛni chenj, impɔtant, ɔr di sik dɔn go bifo. Dɔn dɛn go tɔk to yu kwik kwik wan fɔ ɛksplen dis.

Dɛn rizɔlt ya kin ɛp yu dɔktɔ fɔ no if yu gɛt wan sik we de afɛkt yu retina ɔ optik nɛv, ɛn if na so, aw fa i dɔn skata ɛn aw i siriɔs. Yuz dis infɔmeshɔn, yu dɔktɔ go plan yu nɛks tritmɛnt. Dɛn kin se yu fɔ bigin tek mɛrɛsin, tritmɛnt wit lɛsa, ɔ injɛkshɔn na yu yay.

Ustɛm a fɔ go to mi dɔktɔ?

I rili impɔtant fɔ mek dɛn de chɛk yu yay ɔltɛm. Visit yu dɔktɔ ɔltɛm (ɛvri 6 mɔnt, wan tɛm insay di ia, fɔ ɛgzampul). Dis na di tɛm we yu dɔktɔ kin chɛk fɔ ɛni chenj na yu yay. If yu gɛt ɛnitin we nɔ kɔmɔn ɔ yu notis ɛni chenj na yu yay, yu fɔ rili tɛl yu dɔktɔ. Nɔ ignore am, ilɛksɛf na smɔl tin.

If yu gɛt ɛni wan pan di sayn dɛn we de dɔŋ ya, nɔ panik ɛn go to dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm:

• Nyu ɔ we de kɔntinyu fɔ gɛt pen na yu yay.
• If i nɔ izi fɔ yu fɔ si klia wan, if di we aw di kɔlɔ dɛn de sho dɔn chenj, ɔ if tin dɛn tan lɛk se dɛn nɔ klia.
• If yu de si tin dɛn we tan lɛk flota bifo yu yay bɔku tɛm, ɔ if yu si layt we de flash.
• If yu nɔ de si fayn wantɛm wantɛm, ɔ if i tan lɛk se pat pan yu yay blak.

So, di las mɛsej we yu go kɛr go na os:

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, dis (OCT) tɛst na tɛst we rili kwik, izi, we nɔ de mek pɔsin fil pen, ɛn we rili advans. I de tek layt bay layt, tri-dimɛnshɔnal (3D) pikchɔ dɛn we de insay yu yay, mɔ di sɛnsitiv pat dɛn we de biɛn di yay, lɛk di retina ɛn di optik nɛv, ɛn i de mek yu si dɛn fayn fayn wan lɛk wan tawzin pat pan wan milimita.

Dis kin mek dɔktɔ dɛn ebul fɔ mɛzhɔ insay di yay, si di damej we di optik nɛv dɔn pwɛl, ɛn no di tin dɛn we kin afɛkt yu yay we yu bigin fɔ si ɛn plan tritmɛnt. So, if dɔktɔ aks yu fɔ du dis tɛst, no rizin nɔ de fɔ mek yu fred. I kin bi wan impɔtant tin fɔ mek yu yay gɛt wɛlbɔdi ɛn fɔ mek yu nɔ si fayn fayn tin dɛn.

Tek kia ɔf yu yay! Nɔ fɔgɛt fɔ kɔntinyu fɔ chɛk yu yay.
