Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your eye from the cornea to the retina. It provides richly detailed 3D images with high resolution, allowing for more precise examinations of key structures in the eye such as the cornea, optic nerve disc, and macula. This aids in the effective detection and assessment of serious eye conditions at an early stage.

Main Functions:

  • Scans and visualizes the optic nerve structure, aiding in the diagnosis of glaucoma, optic nerve pathology, and monitoring disease progression.
  • Scans and visualizes the macular structure, crucial for diagnosing age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, and other macular diseases, as well as tracking disease progression.
  • Corneal and anterior chamber examinations can determine corneal thickness and help identify individuals at high risk for acute glaucoma.
  • Scleral lens fitting involves precise detection of lens performance on the eye after settling, providing detailed imaging to patients for improved communication and fitting experience.
  • Measurement of axial eye length, useful for monitoring the progression of myopia.
  • Glaucoma assessment.
  • Macular disease evaluation.

Individuals at Higher Risk Who Should Consider Regular Macular Disease Evaluations:

  • Those with a family history of macular disease.
  • Patients already diagnosed with macular degeneration or deterioration.
  • Individuals experiencing distorted or wavy vision.
  • Those with high degrees of myopia (nearsightedness).
  • Long-term diabetics.

Corneal Topography

Corneal topography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that provides a detailed analysis of the cornea's shape and curvature. This analysis is crucial for diagnosing various corneal conditions. It is performed simply by looking into the device as instructed by an optometrist.

Main Functions:

  • Examines the corneal topography and tracks changes over time, assisting in the diagnosis of conditions like keratoconus, assessing astigmatism, and post-surgical recovery.
  • Collects corneal curvature, diameter, and other data, useful for fitting orthokeratology lenses, scleral lenses, and other specialized contact lenses, as well as tracking lens effectiveness.
  • Evaluates tear film quality, aiding in the diagnosis of dry eye syndrome.

Slit Lamp

A slit lamp is a specialized microscope used in eye examinations that provides a high-intensity focused light source for detailed observation of all eye structures, from the cornea and iris to the lens and retina. A slit lamp exam is a non-invasive diagnostic process that aids eye doctors and optometrists in detecting and diagnosing various eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and corneal damage or diseases.

Main Functions:

  • Comprehensive examination of the external and internal conditions and health of the eye, used to diagnose diseases from the eyelids, eyelashes, cornea, conjunctiva, lens, and retina, such as dry eye syndrome, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular diseases.
  • Equipped with digital photography capabilities to record the current state of the eye, facilitating monitoring of changes.

Digital Retinal Photography

Digital retinal photography is a key ophthalmic imaging technique that examines and records the current state of the retina. It is highly useful for diagnosing various retinal diseases, including glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.

Automatic Computerized Refractometer

An automatic computerized refractometer can initially estimate a patient's prescription and measure the corneal curvature. Newer models are further equipped with non-contact tonometry and corneal thickness measurements, playing an important role in glaucoma screening.

Digital Lens Fitting System

Equipped with the advanced French Essilor VISIOFFICE® 3 digital optometric measuring system, this system uses an HD color camera that can precisely capture a range of eyewear and eye interface parameters including pupillary distance, fitting heights, eye rotation center, pantoscopic tilt, and frame wrap angle with just two simple photos. Its accuracy reaches up to 0.1 millimeter and 0.1 degree and provides a 3D reconstruction of eye anatomy, allowing for lenses and coatings to be customized based on an individual's lifestyle and natural posture. 

This system not only observes personalized data such as dominant eye, reading habits, and posture but also converts collected eye data into 3D images for easier explanation of eye conditions to clients. The user-friendly software allows clients to compare different frames and lens options, enhancing the visual experience. Furthermore, this system adheres to social distancing protocols, offering eye care professionals a safe and innovative option to enhance service quality and expertise, providing clients with a unique and comfortable eyewear fitting experience.
