Pre-Testing/Diagnostic Machines
Auto-Refraction (ARK): |
Baseline prescription by measuring how light is affected as it reflects through the eye. |
Non-Contact Tonometry (NCT) |
Measures the pressure inside the eye. Records the resistance of your corneas to the pressure. |
Lipiscan: |
Analyze the health of the Meibomian glands. Could help indicate an abnormality or blockage of the glands. |
Tear Lab: |
Measures the salt concentration in tears to aid in the diagnosis of dry eye diseases/ocular surface diseases. |
Optos: (screener = out of pocket) |
Takes a 200' image of the back of the eye, which is needed to document the health of the optic nerve, vitreous, macula & it's blood vessels. |
Fundus: (billable to medical) |
Same as above, done when pt has known medical diagnosis. |
Visual Field: (VF) |
Used in detection/diagnosis of Glaucoma, AMD, Scotomas & brain abnormalities. Test's the full horizontal and vertical field of peripheral vision, identifying potential diminished or blind spots (scotomas) in the patients' vision. |
Optical Coherence Tomography: (OCT)* |
Non-invasive imaging tests. They use light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina. With OCT, your ophthalmologist can see each of the retina's distinctive layers. |
Oculus Keratograph |
An advanced corneal topographer with a built-in real keratometer and a color camera optimized for external imaging. Unique features include examining the meibomian glands, non-invasive tear film break-up time and the tear meniscus height measurement and evaluating the lipid layer. |
