Advanced Eye Care Diagnostic Procedures
In some cases, special testing is needed to diagnose or monitor an eye problem. Our advance eye care clinic has the following specialized instruments:
- Zeiss Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer
- Zeiss Cirrus Anterior Segment Imaging
- Zeiss Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive test that uses light waves (no radiation) to show cross-sectional pictures of the different retinal layers and works a little like an ultrasound for the eye.
It has the ability to detect problems in the eye prior to any symptoms being present in the patient. With an OCT, we are able to see a cross section or 3D image of the retina and detect the early onset of a variety of eye conditions and eye diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy (the top three diseases known to cause blindness). Detecting sooner results in a more comprehensive eye health care for you.
The results are stored in a computer so that with repeat testing, changes can be detected. Eyedrops are not usually required and the test will not affect your vision.
