OPTOS Wide Field Retinal Imaging - This new technology allows us to take images inside the eye never before possible. These images reveal peripheral retinal disease and damage much better than conventional means, even through an undilated pupil. Note the much wider field of view in the OPTOS image below. |

Visual Fields - Many conditions and diseases reduce ones peripheral vision. We use computer assisted automated perimetry to accurately assess our patients' peripheral vision and to monitor the progression of their disease. The test uses different strategies to test for specific disease processes. This test involves focusing on a fixation target while small spots of light of varying intensity flash in the peripheral visual field. The computer records the responses of the patient and through statistical analysis, helps determine the level of vision impairment. This recently developed and refined procedure has greatly helped us manage a number of conditions, especially glaucoma. |

Corneal Topography - Corneal Topography is one of the most
rapidly developing specialty tests in eye care.
 |
The cornea is the clear covering of the eye and is responsible for the majority of the focusing power of the eye. Due in part to the progression of excimer laser treatments for corneal irregularities and refractive errors, it became necessary to develop a means of accurately measuring the shape of the cornea. This instrument, through computer aided graphics, plots a topographical map of the cornea to highlight irregularities, distortions, astigmatism, and other corneal anomalies. |

Marco Refracting System - Our new computerized refraction system provides us with a state of the art means of determining the proper spectacle prescription as well as other data for our patients.
|
This system provides more reliable data with less individual tester variability at a greater speed than the old "which is better, one or two" routine. Our patients tell us that this test is much easier and more comfortable than our previous methods. |
|
Flourescein Angiography - We use flourescein angiography to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal disorders such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
|
 |
This test gives the doctor a clear picture of the circulation in the retina and will highlight any area of bleeding or leakage in the retinal blood vessels.The test is accomplished by injecting a small amount of dye into a vein in the arm and taking a series of photographs as the dye circulates through the eye. The doctor can then make specific diagnostic and treatment plans using the photos as a map to identify areas needing treatment. |
