Diagnostic Technology

The technology contained within the walls of the Eye Institute is second to none. We use the most technologicaly advanced equipment to serve the region's eye care needs.

Refractive Surgery

The new Ladarvision Excimer laser system uses a laser eye tracker with a small laser beam to more accurately reshape the cornea. With its superior precision, the laser increases 20/20 outcomes – and its capacity to treat all five types of refractive errors means that people who were not candidates for the procedure in the past may now qualify for surgery.

Topcon Refracting Stations

These highly advanced computer systems accurately check a person’s vision in about half the time of manual instrumentation. The system reads patients' prescriptions from their current glasses, assesses patients' “refractive error,” and then generates printouts of the new prescriptions.

Vision Rehabilitation Program

Special devices maximize residual vision, providing practical adaptations to enhance patients' vision and allowing them to engage in daily activities. Examples are special glasses and magnifying stations that assist patients by displaying, lighting and magnifying images.

Confocal Laser Scanning Topography

This preventive procedure enables earlier detection of glaucoma damage to the nerve fiber layer or optic nerve of the eye, and allows us to closely monitor glaucoma patients for signs of progression.

Ophthalmic Photodynamic Therapy

This therapy provides reatment for patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization lesions, secondary to exudative (wet) age-related macular degeneration.

Visual Field

The visual field is a process to determine defects in the field of vision and tests the function of the retina, optic nerve and optic pathways. It monitors the stabilization or progression of glaucoma.
