Reaching a Diagnosis

Our Clinic is Equipped with Diagnostic Power

• Vision Testing: We can evaluate Distance Vision, Near Vision, Color Vision, Depth Perception and Contrast Sensitivity.
• Lensometry: Measure the power of your glasses to ensure they were made properly.
• Refraction: We can prescribe new glasses by auto-refraction, manifest refraction by phoropter, or an objective cycloplegic refraction by streak retinoscopy. 
• Slit Lamp Examination: This specialized microscope allows for a detailed examination of the eye to localize pathology.
• Indirect ophthalmoscopy: A technique to look in the back of the eye to identify retinal or vitreal pathology. 
• Gonioscopy: Evaluation with a specialized mirror to analyze anterior chamber anatomy and angle structures that may be contributing to pathology.
• Tonometry: We use various contact methods such as applanation, hand-held, and rebound tonometry to evaluate eye pressure in patients of all life stages.
• Visual Field Testing: A computerized static perimetery test to screen for and evaluate glaucomatous, neurologic and lid-induced visual field defects
• Keratometry and Topography: Automated measurement of the corneal curvature and corneal power while also mapping out the surface of the cornea to identify corneal irregularties.
• Schirmer’s testing: Special strips of Whatman filter paper are used to objectively measure how dry eyes.
• Partial Coherence Laser Interferometry: A non-invasive measurement of the optical reflectivity from the retinal pigment epithelium to determine axial length, as well as anterior chamber depth and white to white measurements in preparation for cataract surgery.
• Optical Coherence Tomography: A non-invasive imaging technique that provides high-resolution, cross sectional images of the Cornea, Nerve, and Retina.
