What to Expect From Our Technology

Many of the technologies we use are quick, noninvasive, and comfortable. Depending on your needs, we may use different tools during your visit to examine specific structures of the eye, assess how your eyes work together, or establish a baseline for future monitoring.

Technology is only one part of your eye care. We combine your results with your health history, symptoms, vision needs, and clinical examination to develop a more complete picture of your eye health. We will also take the time to explain what we find and answer your questions.

OCT: A Closer Look at Your Eye Health

Your eyes can reveal a great deal about your overall health, and OCT gives us a detailed view of structures that cannot always be seen during a standard eye exam. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) uses light to create high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve.

These detailed images help us identify subtle changes and monitor the health of important structures inside your eyes. OCT can be especially useful when screening for or monitoring conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and other retinal diseases.

By comparing your images over time, we can track changes in your eye health and have a clearer picture of what is happening beneath the surface.

Optos: See More of Your Retina

A healthy retina is essential for clear vision, but some retinal changes can develop before you notice any symptoms. Optos retinal imaging allows us to capture detailed images of a wide area of the back of your eye, giving your optometrist a broader view of your retina than a traditional retinal photograph.

These images help us examine the retina and look for signs of conditions that can affect your vision and eye health, including retinal disease, diabetic eye disease, and age-related changes. We can also save retinal images and compare them at future visits to monitor your eyes over time and identify changes as early as possible.

Neurolens: Understanding How Your Eyes Work Together

Clear vision is about more than seeing 20/20. Your eyes also need to work together comfortably, particularly when you are reading, using a computer, or spending hours looking at digital screens. Neurolens technology helps us assess how your eyes align and work together at different distances.

For some people, difficulties with eye alignment can contribute to symptoms such as eye strain, headaches, visual fatigue, or discomfort during prolonged near work. Neurolens measurements give us additional information about your binocular vision and can help determine whether specialized lens technology may be appropriate for you.

If your assessment suggests that Neurolens could benefit your vision and comfort, we can explain how it works and discuss whether it is a good fit for your visual needs.
