Digital Retinal Camera
A digital retinal camera
helps to follow patients with retinal and optic nerve disease. It is
exceptionally helpful in following patients with diabetes and glaucoma. |

GDx Retinal Nerve Fiber Analyzer
The GDx instrument
measures the thickness of nerve fiber layer with a scanning laser.
In glaucoma, the retinal nerve fiber layer loses thickness because of
nerve damage due to the eye pressure. |

The OCT Scanning Laser
(Optical Coherence Tomography)
This instrument measures the structure of the retina.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) generates cross-sectional images of the internal structures of the eye. It performs high-resolution, micron-scale, crosspsectional, or tomographic imaging of tissue structure or pathology. |

Preferential Hyperacuity Perimetry (PHP)
This instrument measures the function of the macula (the center of the retina)
Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is classified as either wet or dry. The PHP test helps us determine when "dry macular degeneration" starts changing to "wet macular degeneration". The earlier we can detect wet macular degeneration and refer to a retinal specialist, the better the visual outcome. |
