Corneal pachymetry determines the thickness of your cornea. The test uses ultrasound technology to capture a high-definition measurement. It’s quick, painless, and an important part of helping diagnose eye conditions such as glaucoma, keratoconus, or other corneal diseases.

Corneal topography captures 3-D images of the surface of your eye (cornea) using computerized technology. The shape of a normal cornea is typically an even, rounded shape. Corneal topography can detect any irregularities to the surface of the eye. This test can be beneficial when diagnosing conditions such as keratoconus, as well as fitting contact lenses.

Testing with the Diopsys device measures the neurological response of the entire visual pathway, from light entering the front of the eye to the visual cortex in the brain that receives visual information. The Diopsys test can help diagnose eye conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and diabetic retinopathy.

Diopsys testing uses sensor pads placed on the head and does not rely on patient participation (like pressing buttons) to help ensure accuracy. One eye will be tested at a time.

EARLY DETECTION with Diopsys Technology

Why is FUNCTIONAL VISION important for an AMD patient why Diopsys is the best test for your patient?

iScan Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) produces cross-sectional images of the retina to determine the thickness of each layer. This device uses light waves and is non-invasive.

OCT scans help provide guidance for the diagnosis glaucoma and retinal conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.

Punctal plugs are small medical devices that help patients alleviate their dry symptoms. They are inserted into the eye’s tear ducts and prevent fluid from draining from the eyes too quickly. This helps keep the surface of the eye adequately lubricated and moisturized.

Digital retinal imaging is the process of taking an image of the back of your eye. We may recommend retinal imaging if you have or are at risk of developing conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diabetic eye disease.

Your eyes will be dilated with special eye drops to widen your pupil. Next, you will rest your chin and forehead against the support to hold your head steady while the laser scans your eye.

The OCULUS Easyfield® visual field test can determine how wide of an area your eye can see around a central point. It can help detect blind spots in your vision and where they are. As an example, a visual field test can show blind spots in the peripheral vision of someone with glaucoma.
