Special Eye Testing
SPECIAL TESTING MEANS EXTRA SPECIAL EYE CARE
Optomap Ultra-Widefield Retinal Image
The optomap ultra-widefield retinal image is a unique technology that captures more than 80% of your retina in one panoramic image while traditional imaging methods typically only show 15% of your retina at one time.
The benefits of having an optomap ultra-widefield retinal image taken are:
- Optomap facilitates early protection from vision impairment or blindness
- Early detection of life-threatening diseases like cancer, stroke, and cardiovascular disease
The unique optomap ultra-widefield view helps your eye care practitioner detect early signs of retinal disease more effectively and efficiently than with traditional eye exams
Visual Field Testing
Visual Field testing can help save vision because it is another test used to diagnose or rule out glaucoma and other neurological disorders that affect vision. This simple, but effective service has saved lives by detecting various medical conditions such as strokes, brain tumors, and other neurological defects.
Anterior Segment Camera
Our anterior segment camera helps us to document skin types as well as lesions and morphological abnormalities of the skull, eye lids and surrounding areas. We can also use pictures of the head and shoulders, face and eyes to document nerve anomalies.
Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT)
Our Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) uses scanning laser tomography to produce 3-dimensional images, which allow precise measurements of optic nerve head parameters.
This technology is used to differentiate between normal eyes and glaucomatous eyes even before visual field defects are present. It also allows for accurate comparison on follow-up examination.
Our HRT is also able to image retinal changes caused by minor accumulations of fluid. These changes often do not meet the definition of clinically significant macular edema, but may signal future problems. The aging population and rise in obesity are driving increased incidents of both age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. The HRT Retina Module enables a fast, simple method of evaluating macular health.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Our OCT helps us better manage glaucoma and diseases of the retina because this technology allows the eye doctor to see the deep tissue layers in the eye. These high-definition images are the only way that they can actually see beneath the surface to the nerve fiber layers where damage occurs. Up until now, eye doctors had to use other tests to indicate damage in this critical area of sight. Common eye diseases such macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma are detected early by the OCT when the diseases can be more effectively treated. service.
Refractive Surgery and Co-Management
Are you interested in laser refractive surgery? Our doctors will evaluate your eyes and discuss your visual goals to help determine if you are an appropriate candidate for LASIK, PRK or Cataract Refractive Technology.
If you have appropriate goals and there are no contraindications for the procedure, we will recommend a pre-operative evaluation with a local surgeon to determine suitability for refractive surgery. If the decision is made to proceed with surgery, your post-operative management will be provided in our office by . This includes multiple visits over a period of time to include medical evaluation and management of your vision and ocular healing.
Low Vision Services
Low vision is the term used to describe reduced eyesight that cannot be fully corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or eye surgery. The primary causes of low vision are eye diseases, but low vision can also be inherited or caused by an eye or brain injury.
along with our staff specialize in low vision services and we are one of the main low vision providers in the region. In many cases, people with impaired vision can be helped by low vision devices, which include high-powered eyeglasses, handheld magnifiers and telescopes, and stand-alone magnifiers. Many of these low vision devices and strategies can help visually-impaired individuals get the most out of their remaining sight.
Ocular Injuries and Red Eyes
In addition to the services you already rely on us for, such as routine eye exams, contact lenses, and eyeglasses, also offer thorough treatment and management of many ocular conditions:
- Evaluation of vision and ocular health
- Treatment of dry eyes
- Treatment of “pink eye” and other eye infections
- Removal of foreign bodies from the eye
- Treatment of ocular allergies or burns
- Emergency eye care
This is convenient and cost effective for your whole family and you can be sure you are receiving the proper attention from an eye care specialist.
