Optos Ultrawide-field (UWF) Retinal Imaging

  • The optos non-mydriatic imaging system allows our doctors to assess the health of the peripheral retina (up to 220 degrees) without the use dilating drops

Medmont Corneal Topography

    • Corneal topography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique used to map out the curvature of the surface of the corne
  • The Medmont corneal topographer allows our doctors to offer a wider range of services and expertise when it comes to managing and providing visual solutions for irregular and post-surgical corneas.
  • Corneal topography is frequently used in our contact lens clinic for specialty and difficult fits including: scleral lenses, orthokeratology, and rigid gas permeable lenses.

Zeiss Cirrus Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

  • OCT is a non-invasive medical imaging modality that uses reflected light rays to look at the the layers of the eye on a microscopic level.
  • OCT imaging allows for resolution of as small as two microns. To put this into perspective, the average human hair is 40-50 microns thick.
  • Some medical conditions that are monitored closely by OCT imaging include: age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema, glaucoma.
  • OCT is used most frequently by our doctors in our retina clinic to assess findings and quantify changes on a microscopic level

Humphrey Visual Field Perimetry

  • Perimetry is the methodical measurement of a person’s visual field. It is used to assess an individual’s remaining functional vision.
  • The Humphrey Visual Field Perimeter is the accepted standard when it comes to automated static perimetry.
  • Some medical conditions that manifest in loss or changes of an individual’s visual field include: cerebrovascular accidents (strokes), multiple sclerosis, and glaucoma.
  • Perimetry is used most frequently by our doctors in our glaucoma clinic to monitor for subtle subclinical glaucomatous changes
