Our Equipment:

Nidek Auto Ref / Kerato / Tonometer TONOREF™ II	Three essential measurements combined in one UNIQUE instrument: The world’s first Auto Refractometer (measurement of an index of refraction) Auto Keratometer (also known as a ophthalmometer, is used for measuring the curvature of the anterior surface of the cornea) Non-Contact Tonometer (determine the intraocular pressure (IOP), the fluid pressure inside the eye, It is an important test in the evaluation of patients at risk from glaucoma)
Zeiss 740i Visual Field Perimeter	The gold standard in perimetry to aid in glaucoma diagnosis and management. A visual field test is an eye examination that can detect dysfunction in central and peripheral vision which may be caused by various medical conditions such as glaucoma, stroke, brain tumors or other neurological deficits.  Machine based tests aid diagnostics by allowing a detailed printout of the patient’s visual field.
Nidek Smart Refractor RT-5100	A phoropter  is an instrument used during an eye examination to measure refractive error and determine eyeglass prescriptions. Typically, the patient sits behind the phoropter, and looks through it at an eye chart. The optometrist then changes lenses and other settings, while asking the patient for feedback on which settings give the best vision. Smart Refractor is the Next Best. With computer controlled lens changes and settings to get the best vision possible.
Nidek Optical Coherence Tomography Retina Scan	Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test. OCT uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina.With OCT, we can see each of the retina’s distinctive layers. This allows your ophthalmologist to map and measure their thickness. These measurements help with diagnosis. They also provide treatment guidance for glaucoma and diseases of the retina. These retinal diseases include age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic eye disease.
