OCT Scan
Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) uses non-invasive light waves to create high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the eye from the cornea to the retina. This allows doctors to diagnose, monitor and manage various eye conditions, such as keratoconus, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration.
IOL Master
The IOL Master is a non-contact optical device that measures the distance from the corneal vertex to the retinal pigment epithelium. This allows fast, accurate measurements that are needed for cataract surgery. Because the device is non-contact, there is no need for anesthesia, making this test easy and worry free for our patients.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty ( SLT)
SLT is a treatment for glaucoma. SLT selectively targets only the pigmented cells while preserving surrounding tissue. SLT leads to less damage to trabecular meshwork, making repeat treatment easier.
During cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens is replaced with a clear artificial lens. The original "outer skin" of the natural lens is left to support the new intraocular implant. Sometimes, cell regeneration can cause this fine skin (posterior capsule) to become cloudy. The cloudy capsule interferes with vision in a similar way a cataract blocks vision. When this clouding occurs, the YAG laser is used to create an opening in the capsule, and a clear path for light entering the eye. This is a quick and painless procedure.

YAG Laser
Computerized Corneal Topography
Computerized Corneal Topography uses computer-assisted analysis to create color-coded maps of the cornea’s shape and curvature. It helps identify irregularities, assess corneal diseases and injuries, aids in contact lens fitting and cataract surgery planning.
Visual Field Testing
Visual Field Testing is used to measure the extent of a person’s peripheral vision. It helps assess for various conditions, including glaucoma, optic nerve damage, and neurological disorders.
Digital Photography
Digital Photography captures high-resolution images of the eye that are used to monitor disease progression and aids in patient communication and education.
