High-Tech Care for Healthier Eyes
We believe that providing quality care means staying at the forefront of technological advancements in eye care. Our commitment to using state-of-the-art equipment is part of what sets us apart, allowing us to offer precise diagnoses, effective treatments, and a more comfortable experience for our patients. The advanced technology we use in our practice plays a crucial role in safeguarding your vision and ensuring you receive the best care.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
OCT is a non-invasive imaging technology that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. OCT allows us to see the individual layers of the retina and measure its thickness, which is essential for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.
Optos Optomap®
The Optos Optomap® is an imaging system that captures ultra-widefield images of the retina. Unlike traditional methods, the Optomap® can capture up to 200 degrees of the retina in a single image, providing a comprehensive view of your eye’s health. This technology allows us to detect and monitor retinal conditions such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.
OptiLight by Lumenis
OptiLight by Lumenis is an innovative light-based treatment for managing dry eye disease, targeting the underlying causes of inflammation. This non-invasive treatment uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to reduce inflammation, improve the function of the Meibomian glands, and restore the health of the tear film. OptiLight is a comfortable and quick procedure that can provide lasting relief from dry eye symptoms, helping you achieve clearer and more comfortable vision.
iLUX® Device
The iLUX® device is a state-of-the-art treatment tool for managing Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a common cause of dry eye. This handheld device allows our eye care professionals to apply controlled heat and gentle compression to the eyelids, targeting the Meibomian glands to express blockages and improve oil flow. The iLUX® treatment is quick, effective, and can provide relief from dry eye symptoms.
RETeval
The RETeval is an advanced diagnostic tool that assesses the function of the visual pathway from the retina to the brain. This system uses Light Induced Visual-response (LIV)™ tests to provide information about how well your visual system is working. Much like an electrocardiogram (EKG) tests heart function, the RETINA PLUS™ evaluates the health of the cells in your vision system. This technology is particularly useful in diagnosing and managing conditions like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and optic neuritis.
iCare One Tonometer
The iCare One tonometer is a cutting-edge device used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP), a key factor in diagnosing and managing glaucoma. This portable and easy-to-use device provides accurate readings without the need for anesthesia or air puffs, making the process more comfortable for patients.
OCULUS Keratograph®
The OCULUS Keratograph® 5M is an advanced corneal topographer and dry eye analyzer that provides detailed images and measurements of the cornea. This device is essential for diagnosing and managing dry eye syndrome and for fitting specialty contact lenses, such as scleral lenses. The Keratograph® 5M also includes a tear film analysis feature, which helps us assess the quality and stability of your tear film.
Humphrey Field Analyzer
The Humphrey Field Analyzer 3 is the gold standard for visual field testing, used to detect and monitor glaucoma and other neurological conditions. This device measures the entire scope of your vision, including peripheral vision, and can detect even subtle changes that may indicate disease progression. Regular visual field testing with the Humphrey Field Analyzer 3 helps us track the effectiveness of your treatment and make adjustments as needed.
