Special Testing
Special testing means extra special eye care.
ZEISS/Humphrey 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.
Reichert Auto Tonometer
Tonometry is a method of measuring the pressure in the eye. Tonometry is used to determine the pressure in the eye by measuring the tone or firmness of its surface. This test is used to check for glaucoma, an eye disease that can cause blindness by damaging the optic nerve. Damage to the optic nerve may be caused by a buildup of fluid that does not drain out of the eye properly.
Oculus Keratograph
Corneal topography, also known as photokeratoscopy or videokeratography, is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the surface curvature of the cornea, the outer structure of the eye. Since the cornea is normally responsible for some 70% of the eye’s refractive power, its topography is of critical importance in determining the quality of vision and corneal health. The cornea (the front window of the eye) is responsible for about 70 percent of the eye’s focusing power.
Optos California Camera
California was developed for medical imaging and is a standard for retinal screening programs. California is available in multiple configurations and multiple imaging modality options. California produces a 200°, single shot retinal image of unrivaled clarity in less than ½ second and is changing the management of diseases including Geographic Atrophy, DR, AMD, and Uveitis.
Zeiss 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.
