WHAT IS OCT?

The Stotts Group is passionate about eye care and more importantly your visual health, we understand that sight is your most precious sense. That’s why we have invested in excess of £250,000 on state of the art 3D screening technology to enable us to look after your eye’s as effectively as possible.
