The Optomap is a camera that photographs the back surface of the retina and the optic nerve.  It is a full color image which allows the doctor to see a much broader and more detailed view of the retina that is not possible using conventional methods.

The Corneal Topographer is the latest and most accurate method of examining the cornea, which is the front surface of the eye.  This instrument is highly useful in detecting and monitoring corneal diseases, and prescribing and monitoring the fit of contacts.

The Optical Coherence Tomographer.  It is the latest technology for early glaucoma detection.  It is also used to follow any macular disorder, including macular degeneration.  It is like a MRI of your retina and optic nerve, but only uses light.

The Specular Microscope is a noninvasive photographic technique that facilitates rapid and accurate diagnosis of corneal problems. It allows the doctor to determine the long term health of the cornea by calculating cell density and cell size changes.

Pattern ERG measures the function of your retina – the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. When light from an image enters the eye, it is converted into electrical energy by specialized cells in the retina. These cells send electrical impulses through the optic nerve to the brain where the image is processed. The Diopsys® ERG test records how well the cells of the retina are conveying electrical impulses within the eye. ERG results have been demonstrated to aid in the diagnosis and treatment planning of many vision disorders.
