Topography
Topography is a diagnostic tool used to map the surface curvature of the cornea. It is crucial for detecting and managing conditions such as keratoconus, astigmatism, and other corneal irregularities. This non-invasive technique aids in fitting contact lenses and evaluating surgical outcomes.
Pachymetry
Pachymetry measures the thickness of the cornea, which is vital for assessing glaucoma risk and planning refractive surgeries. By using ultrasound or optical devices, it ensures accurate detection of corneal edema and thinning disorders.
OCT / Macular & RNFL
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) captures detailed images of the macula and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). It helps in diagnosing retinal diseases like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma by providing cross-sectional views of the retina.
Optical Biometry
Optical Biometry is a precise technique for measuring the eye's axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth. It is essential for accurate intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation before cataract surgery.
A-Scan
A-Scan ultrasound is used to measure the eye's axial length and diagnose abnormalities like tumors. It plays a critical role in determining lens implant power during cataract surgery.
Slit Lamp Examination
The slit lamp is a high-intensity light source that allows detailed examination of the eye's anterior and posterior segments. It is instrumental in diagnosing cataracts, corneal injuries, and retinal detachments.
NCT
Non-Contact Tonometry (NCT) measures intraocular pressure without touching the eye. It is a quick and painless method to screen for glaucoma by detecting elevated pressure levels.
Indirect Ophthalmoscopy
Indirect Ophthalmoscopy provides a wide-angle view of the retina using a light source and a handheld lens. It is a key technique for detecting retinal tears, detachments, and vascular diseases.
