Autorefractor

This type of test is used to assess your peripheral vision. Certain brain tumours can negatively impact your peripheral vision, making this an important test.
Digital retinal imaging

This type of test involves using a high-powered digital camera to take detailed images of the back of your eye. It is used to assess conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, which typically leave tell-tale signs behind when this type of imaging is used.

This type of test involves us testing the amount of pressure in your eye with a gentle puff of air. High eye pressure has been linked to many diseases, including glaucoma.

Our Technology

At Eye Image Optometrists, we utilize the tools and technology made available within our industry to optimize your eye care. Our digital instrumentation allows us the ability to make accurate insights about your overall ocular health. Here are some of the latest technologies we use for our patients:

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive technique that examines light waves and cross-section images of your retina (the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of your eye). OCT allows us to view each of the retina’s distinctive layers so we can measure their thickness. Measuring their thickness allows us to detect, diagnose and treat many retinal diseases and conditions, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease, among others.

OCT is also used to evaluate disorders relating to your optic nerve, which is made up of many nerve fibers. Your optic nerve is responsible for sending signals from your retina to your brain, which are then interpreted as the images you see. When an eye condition such as glaucoma changes the fibers of your optic nerve, an OCT exam can be especially helpful in diagnosing this condition.

Digital Retinal Photography (DRP)

Digital retinal photography (DRP) is used to reveal certain eye conditions, including macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Using a high-powered digital camera, detailed images of the back of your eye are taken during this procedure.
