I-Care Tonometer

icare-tonometer If you don’t like the “air puff test” for screening your eye pressure, fear not, we use a new and different instrument called the I-Care Tonometer. No puffs of air or drops are needed. When your intraocular pressure measurement is taken, you only feel a slight tickle.

Corneal Topography

corneal topographer Corneal topography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the surface curvature of the cornea, which is the outer clear structure of the eye. It creates an image, much like a relief map, that can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of a number of conditions such as keratoconus; or aids in analyzing the cornea for the appropriate curvatures needed for fitting contact lenses on challenging cases; or is used in the evaluation for refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK, etc.) and its results.

Corneal Pachymetry

Corneal Pachymeter Corneal pachymetry is the measurement of corneal thickness. It's an important measurement for those contemplating refractive surgery and aids in the assessment of glaucoma, keratoconus or a thinning cornea.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new, noninvasive, noncontact, imaging technology that takes a picture of the optic nerve or retinal structure through the pupil. It is useful in the evaluation of glaucoma and retinal disease such as diabetic retinopathy, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, cystoids macular edema, and central serous choroidopathy.

Humphrey Visual Field Testing

Humphrey Visual Field This instrument maps out your field of vision and reveals any defects in the visual field that may be present. The pattern of vision loss will help your doctor diagnose the cause. Abnormal results may be due to diseases or central nervous system disorders, such as tumors that damage or press on (compress) the parts of the brain that deal with vision. Other diseases that may affect the visual field of the eye include diabetes, glaucoma, high blood pressure, macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis, overactive thyroid(hyperthyroidism), pituitary gland disorders, retinal detachment, stroke, and temporal arteritis.
