Some of the services offered at our facility include:
- Technology-assisted comprehensive eye examinations and the diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, allergic eye conditions, and dry eye
- Myopia management including orthokeratology (corneal reshaping / CRT, VST), pharmaceutical agents, and specialty soft lenses, all for the purpose of slowing or halting the progression of myopia
- Axial length measurement for the detection of myopic progression due to eyeball elongation which may be present in progressive/pathological myopia
- Custom advanced WAVE for hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, and treatment for irregular corneas including keratoconus and post-refractive surgery utilizing advanced CAD/CAM specialty contact lens system
- Computer vision testing and computer-specific glasses using the PRIO Computer Vision Tester
- Co-management of laser vision refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK, etc)
- Contact lens service including disposable, GP (oxygen-permeable), dry eye-specific, astigmatic (toric), monovision, and bifocal-multifocal lenses
- Prescription, homeopathic, and nutritional products for dry eyes and ocular health
Non-Surgical Vision Correction (ORTHOKERATOLOGY, CRT) For Myopia
Wouldn't it be great if your vision could be improved while you are sleeping, reducing your nearsightedness, and also possibly slowing or halting its progression? Please see our Myopia Management section.
Facilities and Equipment
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Our office offers digital imaging of the optic nerve and retina for instant viewing and digital documentation. OCT can assist us in the early detection of eye diseases including glaucoma, pre-cancerous/cancerous lesions, diabetic retinopathy, AIDS related retinopathy, optic nerve disease, macular degeneration, retinal diseases, toxic conditions, etc. The imaging is painless and done with a highly sophisticated laser. Usually dilation drops are unnecessary for the imaging.
Digital Retinal Imaging
Digital retinal photography allows for instant viewing and photo documentation of the retina. Retinal photography can assist us in the early detection of eye diseases, pre-cancerous/cancerous lesions, diabetic related retinopathy, optic nerve disease, macular degeneration, toxic conditions, etc. The digital photographs are painless and often dilation may not be necessary.
Digital Biomicroscope Imaging
Our office offers the latest in slit lamp digital imaging for instant viewing, photo documentation, and video documentation of the eye and surrounding structures. These images and videos can be seen by both the doctor and the patient. This computerized technology aids us by establishing a baseline of the eyes as well as abnormal or disease processes of the eyes.
Axial Length Measurement
Our office offers optical biometry to measure the axial length (AL) of the eye. This information is important in determining eyeball elongation caused by myopia in children and progressive/pathological AL elongation in children and adults.
*FYI: The average eye AL is approximately 23.30 mm. Assuming the central corneal power is the same for each eye at normal ALs, for every 1 mm of AL difference you can anticipate approximately 2.1-2.6 D difference in the refractive error (variable/age-dependent).
Automated Perimetry (Visual Field Testing)
This test can detect a loss of peripheral vision. Abnormal results may indicate a disease process such as glaucoma, or central nervous system problems such as tumors that damage or compress the parts of the brain that deal with vision.
Corneal Topography
Our office is equipped with a corneal topographer, a computerized device that accurately maps the cornea. This enables us to monitor corneal health, and is invaluable in aiding in the early detection of corneal diseases.
