At EyeQ optometry we pride ourselves on having the most advanced technology to facilitate early detection, diagnosis and the management of a multitude of eye diseases, including macula degeneration; glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
OCT or Optical Coherence Tomography represents the biggest breakthrough in medical eye technology in decades. Our Avanti spectral domain OCT by Optovue, by all accounts the most powerful OCT around, allows us to look directly into ocular tissues simply by using reflected light. It is quick, painless, safe and has a resolution far superior to that of an MRI. It greatly enhances the early detection and diagnosis of multiple pathologies and allows us to see things we might not ordinarily see by looking into the eye. Please inquire about the Optovue's iWellness Scan.
The OPTOS Daytona, the widest retinal imaging device in existence, delivers a digital panorama (optomap) of up to 200 degrees through a nondilated pupil. It is often an excellent alternative to dilation with the benefit of instant documentation/ baseline but without the inconvenience of dilation. Sometimes we might recommend both an optomap and traditional dilation to capture the advantages of both methodologies. This technology is invaluable for detecting and monitoring diabetic retinopathy. The OPTOS is unrivaled for documenting more peripheral retinal pathology. Our Daytona also comes equipped with FAF fundus autoflorescence technology. FAF and spectral domain OCT represent the new standard for monitoring patients on plaquenil.
Our Canon CR2 18mp digital fundus camera is excellent for documenting central retinal pathology. It is invaluable in capturing stereo optic nerve photos a mainstay for glaucoma detection and management. We also have an anterior segment camera for documenting pathology in the front of the eye.
We use 2 different peripheral vision analyzers at EyeQ. Virtually every patient gets a screening peripheral vision test (visual field) using the very sensitive Matrix frequency doubling perimeter. Patients who have glaucoma as well as those at risk for getting glaucoma are monitored using the gold standard- the Zeiss Humphrey perimeter. Our Zeiss also comes equipped with guided progression analysis software.
Our philosophy is to judiciously use technology to provide the best eye care possible.
