About the Office
In August 2016, we opened a new office which features state-of-the-art equipment, including:
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Used to diagnose and monitor glaucoma, macular degeneration and many other sight-threatening diseases.
Daytona Optomap. Ultra-widefield retinal imaging device for retina imaging. It’s the best way to examine the eye internally without a dilation.
Visual Evoked Potential and Electroretinogram (VEP/ERG). Measures the nerve activity in response to visual stimuli to diagnose abnormalities in the nerve pathway from the eye to the brain, as well as abnormal retinal function.
Specular microscope. Used to image individual cells in the cornea to diagnose and monitor cornea disease.
Visual field analyzer. Tests the entire visual field to detect vision loss that is not evident in a general eye exam.
