Fundus photography is an imaging tool used to record and receive color images of the interior surfaces of the eye. These detailed images allow our team to monitor irregular vision issues and how they develop over time.

We use fundus photography to track the effects of diabetic retinopathy on your eyes and vision.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging test. OCT involves using light waves that take detailed cross-section images of your retina.

OCT allows our team to measure and map each of the retina’s layers to provide treatment guidance for glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.

Meibography is a specialized imaging study of your eyes. This imaging tool examines the health of your meibomian gland function.

Meibography allows our team to observe the structure of your meibomian glands, helping us get a more thorough picture of your eye health.

The Firefly dry eye tool provides full-resolution clear images of your eye. This detailed imaging tool allows our team to get a detailed view of your meibomian glands and determine the underlying cause of your dry eye syndrome issues.

Applanation tonometry is used to detect changes in your eye pressure. This type of tonometry test is the most common and considered the most accurate for measuring eye pressure. Applanation tonometry involves the use of a flat-tipped probe that is gently pressed against the surface of the eye.

The iCare tonometer helps detect intraocular pressure (IOP) in your eyes. While not as common as applanation tonometry, this device allows our team to perform IOP measurements accurately without the need for anesthetic drops.
