Advanced Medical Testing

Our office is equipped to handle comprehensive medical testing, in addition to routine eye screenings. Some of these tests include:

New! Optomap Retinal Imaging

We now offer the Optomap retinal scan as part of your pre-test work-up! This retinal scan allows us to capture an image of the back part of the eye to better evaluate for
diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinal tears or detachments, and certain types of cancers. These problems can threaten vision without warning or symptoms. The image then becomes a good baseline we can compare in the future to detect changes! When the Optomap retinal scan is taken, you may not need to be dilated unless your doctor says otherwise. This scan is not covered by insurance and costs $39.

Visual Field Test

A Visual Field Test is just a more comprehensive screening of your full horizontal and vertical vision than what is done prior to your yearly exam. It helps determine the potential of blind spots (scotomas), which could indicate eye diseases.

 

Using a formal visual field testing machine, the patient will be asked to press a button, similar to the screening, when a flash of light is seen. Each eye is tested individually and usually takes around 3–4 minutes to complete.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Scan

An OCT scan is a noninvasive technique for retinal imaging. Similar to a sonogram, using optical coherence tomography, we can accurately measure eye length and other components of the retina, giving a clear assessment of eye damage, such as retinal separation and macular degeneration.

Fundus Photos

Fundus Cameras can take up-close images of your optic nerve. They are used to diagnose a disease, monitor the progression of a disease or in screening programs, where photos can be analyzed later.
