Fundus Photo
Fundus photo is a camera we use to record color images of the condition of the interior surface of the eye, to document the presence of disorders and monitor their change over time. this allows the technicians to image a much greater area and have a clearer view of the back of the eye
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test. OCT uses light waves to take cross section pictures of your retina. We are able to see each of the retina’s distinctive layers which allows us to map and measure their thickness. These measurements help with diagnosis. They also provide treatment guidance for glaucoma and diseases of the retina. These retinal diseases include age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.
Visual Field
A visual field is an eye exam that can detect dysfunction in central and peripheral vision which may be caused by various medical conditions such as glaucoma, stroke, pituitary disease, brain tumors or other neurological deficits.
