This device is actually more accurate than any non-automated lensometer. Your eye pressure will be evaluated to within one millimeter of mercury. This is a critical test and if it is elevated is a significant risk factor in glaucoma. Next an instrument called Frequency Doubling Technology will be used to map out your field of vision. Subtle defects in this vision function can mean the beginning glaucoma or even brain tumors which are silent.
Retinal photography comes next.
This instrument is a very sophisticated camera which can take a detailed picture of your retina, the part of the eye that is like a camera, but infinitely more sophisticated. It is the only place in the body where blood vessels are directly visible and often can be a strong indicator of serious health problems like high blood pressure or diabetes. It provides a wonderful baseline of your eye's internal health and can be used for years to assess the presence of changes. We are not only Handicapped Accessible, but have specialized equipment designed for those in wheelchairs.
