MATRIX VISION FIELD ANALYZER: This instrument is used to check the sensitivity of the retina to stimulus. Often called a
peripheral vision test, this device is used to detect areas of loss of sensitivity in the field of vision. This test is useful for
monitoring visual changes due to Glaucoma, diabetic changes, retinal defects and it can even detect certain kinds of brain
tumors. The screening version of this test is done on every patient as part of the pre-test sequence in order to provide a
better "picture" of eye's health. Early detection of vision field defects from glaucoma or other problems is key to the
preservation of vision.

AUTO-REFRACTOR / AUTO-KERATOMETER: This instrument provides a quick estimate of the required
prescription for a patient's eyes. It provides a starting point near the final prescription which greatly reduces the
number of times the Doctor needs to ask you, "Which is better one or two?" This device also measures the curve
of the cornea allowing for an accurate fit of contact lenses.

NON-CONTACT TONOMETER: Also known as the "AIR PUFF", this device measures the pressure inside the
front chamber of the eye. The pressure is an important factor in the health of the eye because it is an indicator for
GLAUCOMA. Glaucoma is blinding disease that is almost always painless and goes unnoticed as it collapses the
field of vision starting at the peripheral vision. The air puff method is a good screening for pressure, it is quick,
non-invasive and painless - although often surprising.

OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHER (OCT): The OCT is a great advance in diagnostic technology. This specialized instrument
uses a scanning laser to reveal the structure of the retina. This allows the doctor to see changes that would otherwise be undetectable.
Changes like the small pockets of fluid that occur at the early stages of diabetic macular edema or wet macular degeneration. This device
will indicate if a retinal defect only affects a single layer of the retina or the whole thickness of the retina. The OCT is, also, one of the best
instruments for the early detection of damage to nerves of the retina from Glaucoma. The OCT used to be found only in the offices of
Ophthalmologists, but because this technology is so important in the early detection of Glaucoma as well as other retinal problems, we felt
it important to have it available right here in our own community!

DIGITAL RETINAL AND EXTERNAL PHOTOGRAPHY: This is an excellent tool for documenting various disorders of the
retina as well as the outer portions of the eye. The high resolution digital camera provides excellent pictures that are used to
document and monitor conditions and their locations. With this device, we can show you your own eyes and explain what is
happening. This, also, allows us to provide a patient's physician with a report and exact documentation to allow for better
integrated care. Think of it this way, it's your health - would you rather have a health condition documented by a drawing of
that condition or photograph?
