State-of-the-Art Equipment
We invest heavily in the latest cutting-edge technology to ensure that our patients have access to the most advanced eye care techniques. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to diagnose and treat a wide range of eye conditions with exceptional precision and accuracy.
Our equipment includes:
-
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): OCT is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides detailed cross-sectional views of the retina and optic nerve. This allows us to detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other retinal conditions.
-
Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer: The Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer is used to measure the extent of a patient’s peripheral vision. This test is essential for detecting and monitoring glaucoma and other conditions that can affect peripheral vision.
-
Autorefractor/Keratometer: An autorefractor/keratometer is used to measure the refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism) of the eye and the curvature of the cornea. This information is essential for prescribing eyeglasses and contact lenses.
-
iCare Tonometer: The iCare Tonometer is a non-contact tonometer that measures intraocular pressure (IOP). IOP is an important indicator of glaucoma, and the iCare Tonometer allows us to measure IOP quickly, accurately, and comfortably.
