The i-Profiler Plus maps the unique shape of your cornea and measures your prescription with incredible precision. This allows our doctors to create a lens that fits your eyes perfectly, giving sharper vision, improved comfort, and reduced eye strain. Early detection of corneal irregularities, such as keratoconus, is also possible, helping us catch potential problems before they affect your vision.
Auto-refraction quickly estimates your lens prescription, while keratometry measures the curvature of your cornea. Together, these tools provide a reliable starting point for your prescription, ensuring lenses fit comfortably and deliver crisp vision. They also support accurate contact lens fittings, giving you clear and comfortable vision every day.
Lensometry verifies your current prescription to make sure your lenses meet your needs. This means your vision remains sharp and helps confirm the quality and accuracy of your current eyewear. Lensometry also checks UV protection levels in sunglasses, helping safeguard your eyes from harmful sunlight.
Regularly measuring eye pressure is vital for early detection of glaucoma. We offer two options: the standard non-contact puff test or the gentler iCare method that does not require air puffs. Both options give accurate results while keeping you comfortable, helping protect your vision before symptoms appear.
FDT is a quick, noninvasive test that screens your central and peripheral vision. It helps detect early changes in your visual field, often before you notice any loss of sight. Early detection allows us to manage conditions such as glaucoma proactively, protecting your vision long-term.
optomap captures an ultra-wide view of the retina in a single scan, often without the need for dilation. This allows our doctors to identify retinal tears, macular degeneration, and other eye or systemic conditions early. The process is quick, painless, and provides a permanent digital record for monitoring changes over time.
LipiScan uses infrared imaging to visualize the meibomian glands in your eyelids, which produce oils essential for a healthy tear film. Evaluating these glands allows our team to diagnose and treat dry eye effectively, targeting the root cause of irritation and helping your eyes stay hydrated and comfortable.
The slit lamp allows us to examine your eyes in great detail, including the cornea, lens, iris, and retina. This essential diagnostic tool enables early detection of conditions like cataracts, corneal injuries, and ocular inflammation, for timely treatment and healthy eyes.
The phoropter refines your eyeglass prescription during an eye exam. By testing different lenses and combinations, we make sure your vision correction is precise, comfortable, and optimized for daily activities like reading, driving, and screen use.
The Keratograph 5M provides detailed mapping of the cornea and tear film. It helps us analyze tear quality, measure corneal shape, and assess eyelid gland function. These insights guide dry eye treatments and specialty lens fittings, so your eyes receive the most effective care possible.
The iLux 2 gently applies heat and pressure to the eyelids to unblock oil glands. This improves the quality of your tears, relieves dryness, and reduces irritation. Treatments are fast, comfortable, and tailored to your specific needs, helping maintain long-term eye comfort.
IPL uses controlled light pulses to reduce inflammation and stimulate the meibomian glands. By improving oil production in your tears, IPL supports healthier eyes, reduces dryness, and helps prevent flare-ups of chronic irritation.
LLLT applies gentle light to stimulate eyelid glands and promote tear production. The therapy is noninvasive, soothing, and effective in enhancing tear film quality, relieving dry eye symptoms, and improving overall eye comfort.
BlephEx gently removes debris and bacteria from your eyelid margins and lashes. By reducing inflammation and buildup, it helps prevent chronic irritation and improves the effectiveness of dry eye treatments. Most patients notice increased comfort immediately after treatment.
TearLab measures the saltiness of your tears, a key indicator of dry eye disease. Accurate osmolarity testing allows our doctors to customize treatment plans specifically for your eyes, for targeted, effective care.
OCT provides a detailed cross-sectional view of the retina and optic nerve. It can detect subtle changes associated with glaucoma, macular degeneration, or retinal disease before symptoms appear, enabling early intervention and better long-term outcomes.
The HFA maps your central and peripheral vision to detect changes in your visual field. Early detection of glaucoma or neurological conditions allows our doctors to monitor and manage these conditions before they affect daily life.
The IOL Master measures the length and curvature of the eye with precision. These measurements are crucial for planning myopia management in children and for surgical procedures like lens implants, helping direct accurate, predictable vision outcomes.
