TECHNOLOGY
Brand New, High Tech Equipment
Our clinic utilizes the most recent and advanced technologies for your eye care needs. This includes ultrasound imaging to aid in obtaining detailed measurements and information about each eye.
Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)
A non-invasive 3D ultrasound scan to obtain high definition images of the layers and structure of the eye.
We can easily obtain images of the deeper layers of the retina and optic nerve, making it possible for us to detect early stages of diseases, which in turn will allow us to treat our patients sooner before any or more damage can occur.
Visual Field Testing
A machine that subjectively tests peripheral vision, which is invaluable in the detection of any type of glaucoma and quantifies the extent of damage to the optic nerve.
Testing will also help determine if a diagnosed patient undergoing treatment is responding well to the treatment.
Retinal Photography
Takes digital images of the back of a patient’s eye with great precision to examine the eye.
With a more detailed view of the retina, there is a better chance at detecting early signs of diseases, which helps ensure the proper treatment plan is put together to hinder progression and manage the disease.
Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT)
GAT is the gold standard for measuring intraocular pressure, which is the fluid pressure inside the eye. Raised intraocular pressure can cause damage to the optic nerve, which in turn may result in irreversible vision loss.
Non-contact Pachymetry
A non-contact measurement of the central corneal thickness, which will aid in the diagnosis of ocular hypertension and glaucoma. Depending on the thickness, an adjustment is made to determine an accurate eye pressure within the eye. This will also help to determine appropriate treatment plans. Furthermore, this piece of information is crucial when deciding candidacy for laser refractive surgery.
