Corneal Topography
Corneal topography is a computerized test that generates a three-dimensional image of the surface of the cornea, the clear tissue at the front of the eye. Normal eyes have an evenly rounded shape to the cornea like a beach ball, while abnormal corneas can be too flat, too steep, or irregularly curved. Corneal topography is...
IOLMaster Testing
The IOLMaster uses laser technology to measure the length of the eye. Measuring the length of the eye accurately is extremely important in cataract surgery, as it allows the eye surgeon to select the right lens to implant for each patient. The IOLMaster is the latest technology in measuring the length of the eye. It...
OCT Testing
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a retinal scan used to study the anatomy of the retina and optic nerve in fine detail. OCT testing requires dilation of the pupils but does not require a needle in the arm and does not involve touching the eye. A healthy retina is only ¼ of a millimeter thick,...
OCT Angiography
If the eye condition you have requires diagnostic testing to assess blood flow within the retina, such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or retinal vein occlusion to name a few, it is important that you are aware of the different testing options available to you. INTRAVENOUS FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY The first testing option is called intravenous...
Visual Field Testing
Because it has no noticeable symptoms, glaucoma is a difficult disease to detect without regular, complete eye exams. One particular test, called a visual field test (or perimetry test), measures all areas of your eyesight, including your side, or peripheral, vision. A visual field test can help find certain patterns of vision loss and is...
Wavefront Analysis
Wavefront analysis uses a special device to precisely measure the unique irregularities and variations in the cornea. This analysis has been compared to taking a fingerprint of the eye. With your chin resting on the device, you will be asked to stare past what is called a target light. A sensor will measure the irregularities...
