HRT® (Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph) |
This equipment takes a 3-D image of structures in the retina.
It is
primarily used for monitoring changes in optic nerve anatomy in glaucoma
or glaucoma suspect patients.
The
computer automatically aligns images with images from previous exams and
compares them to see if there are microscopic changes in the anatomy of
the optic nerve - crucial in glaucoma diagnosis and glaucoma management
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: glaucoma diagnosis and management, retinal
thickening |
|
| |
 |
|
Humphrey® Matrix Visual Field Analyzer |
This equipment maps out the patient's visual field
There are various tests available - each testing different types of visual
field function.
The various tests can help to root out disease of the macula (central
visual field), glaucoma (peripheral visual field), and/or other retinal
disease.
It is also helpful in documenting visual field loss in stroke patients.
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: glaucoma diagnosis and management, diagnosis and
management of various optic neuropathies, monitor patients on plaquenil
therapy, document visual field loss in stroke patients |

Konan® Specular Microscope |
This equipment takes pictures of the cells in the deepest layer of the
cornea
- the endothelium.
This allows us to assess corneal health in contact lens patients.
The specular microscope can also be used to monitor certain corneal
dystrophies.
It can be used to detect and monitor corneal edema.
Can be used by the ophthalmologist prior to cataract surgery to predict
how the cornea will react to the trauma of surgery.
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: Contact lens patients, corneal dystrophies,
pachymetry (corneal thickness), corneal edema, cataract pre/post-op,
LASIK, glaucoma |
|
| |
 |
|
Sonogage® Pachymeter |
This equipment measures corneal thickness.
Corneal thickness is a risk factor in glaucoma.
Corneal thickness measurements are crucial for LASIK pre-op.
This can sometimes be used to monitor corneal edema (swelling).
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: Glaucoma, corneal edema, LASIK |
|
| |
 |
|
Topcon® Retinal Camera |
This equipment takes a picture of the retina (the inside photoreceptor
layer of the eyes) often without dilation drops.
It can also be used as a wide-angled anterior segment camera to take
pictures of eye lids, lashes, subconjunctival hemorrhages, etc.
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: Routine eye exams, diabetes, glaucoma,
retinopathy (retinal disease) |
|
| |
 |
|
Topcon® SD-OCT |
This equipment is a combination retinal camera and OCT.
An OCT allows us to examine the various layers of the eye as if you were
looking at the various layers of an apple pie.
This enables us to be able to see swelling or fluid underneath the
retina, any retinal holes or tears, and even certain masses or tumors.
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS: Diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, macular
holes, retinal edema (swelling), subretinal masses or tumors, subretinal
fluid |
