State-of-the art diagnostics
Queens Eye offers
comprehensive eye exams and is equipped with technologically advanced diagnostic instruments to diagnose, monitor and
treat a wide range of eye conditions.
B-SCAN ULTRASONOGRAPHY
Ultrasound is profoundly useful in the visualization of eye structures that may be difficult or impossible to see. Even with eye diseases that are clinically visible, this diagnostic tool assists in ruling out and differentiating eye diseases.
CORNEAL PACHYMETRY
This instrument measures the thickness of the cornea in various sections, information that's critical in determining candidacy for refractive surgery. In recent clinical research, it has also been used to diagnose and monitor glaucoma.
CORNEAL TOPOGRAPHY
This device takes digital images of the front surface of the eye (cornea)
and precisely maps its contours using a patented Arc-Step Algorithm. It
allows us to monitor potential changes in vision or other disease processes
that may cause physical discomfort or fluctuations in vision. Corneal
topography is also useful for proper contact lens fit and for determining
pre- and post-operative refractive surgery status.
OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT)
OCT provides high-definition imaging of retinal structures that cannot be clinically seen. Essential in giving comprehensive eye care for patients with various retinal diseases ranging from age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma to diabetes, this tool is an excellent method for detecting small changes in retinal diseases so they can be properly managed and treated.
RETINAL NERVE FIBER ANALYSIS (GDX)
The GDX evaluates the health of the retina and optic nerve at a microscopic
level. It's very effective in the early detection of optic nerve damage
due to diseases such as glaucoma, and records crucial information that
can be used to monitor retinal disease and determine effective treatment.
RETINAL PHOTOGRAPHY
This diagnostic tool enables us to view the retina, macula, and optic
nerve without dilating the pupil. It takes high-resolution, high-magnification
digital images used in monitoring specific eye conditions.
SPECULAR MICROSCOPY
A non-invasive device that provides visualization and analysis of the cornea, specular microscopy enables doctors to diagnose corneal diseases that may result from contact lens wear or eye surgery. This instrument also assists in the management of corneal diseases.
VISANTE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY
This tool allows high-definition imaging of the structures in the front of the eye, enabling early detection of corneal abnormalities. The Visante also assists in proper care for glaucoma and helps your doctor decide if you're a suitable candidate for refractive surgery.
VISUAL FIELD TESTING
The Humphrey/Zeiss Visual Field Analyzer
measures the point-by-point sensitivity of peripheral vision. This is
important in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma and neurological disorders
that may have visual consequences.
