DIAGNOSTICS

Take a look at some of the best equipment we have.

• Optical coherence tomography (OCT): This is a non-invasive imaging technique that requires light waves to capture highly-detailed images of the retina, optic nerve, and other internal eye structures and to monitor eye conditions, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.
• Ophthalmic Ultrasound: This non-invasive imaging technology captures internal images of the eye using high-frequency sound waves.  The two types of ophthalmic ultrasound are A-scan and B-scan, both of which provide valuable diagnostic information by producing images of the eye's internal structures.
• Excimer Laser: This laser technology is used in refractive surgeries such as Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK), Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK), and Laser Epithelial Keratomileusis (LASEK). It is used to reshape the cornea, resulting in better visual acuity and reducing the need for corrective eyewear like glasses or contact lenses.
• Digital imaging systems: These imaging systems capture high-resolution photographs of the eye and its structures and assist the optometrist to diagnose and monitor conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and optic nerve damage.
• Femtosecond Laser: This is one of the latest instruments used in cataract surgery. The tool helps create a precise, computer-controlled incision in the eye and breaks up the cataract for easy removal.
• Phacoemulsification System: It is an advanced cataract surgery technique that requires ultrasound energy to fragment and extract the cloudy lens and substitute it with an artificial lens implant.
• Intra-ocular Lens (IOL) Calculation Systems: These are sophisticated formulas and measurements used to determine the most suitable IOL type and power to use during cataract surgery to enhance the procedure's accuracy and precision.
• Fundus Fluorescent Angiography (FFA): It is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that requires a dye and specialized camera to capture detailed images of the blood vessels in the retina. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal vein occlusion.  
• Automated Visual Field Testing: This technology helps the eye specialist to evaluate a patient's peripheral vision, which is often influenced by conditions such as glaucoma and other neurological disorders.
