Our new location has allowed us to incorporate new machines. The Nidek Retinal camera allows us to examine the back of your eye without the use of annoying dilation drops. This also allows us to document any abnormalities and better monitor them for changes. The Cirrus OCT is a new, very high tech device that scans the retina, macula, and optic nerves of the back of the eye. This is used to detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, and many forms of retinal diseases. In most cases, this machine is detecting disease so early that we are able to prevent vision loss by early detection and treatment so that no visual loss or damage has to occur. These tests are very simple and take only a few seconds to scan the eye and produce the needed images, all while the patient simply looks at a flashing light for about 3 seconds. Another advancement is our new ability to test the pressures of the eye without having to use drops or air puff test.
