Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
This is an important device in the management of diseases of the retina. OCT imaging often provides detection of certain conditions sooner than a conventional or basic eye examination. Early detection will minimize chances of experiencing permanent vision loss. This device can detect ocular conditions such as:
Central retinal disease, Retinal Holes or thinning, Optic Nerve Disease such as Glaucoma, Pre-cancerous lesions, Macular degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy
Fluoresceine Angiography
Angiography is a diagnostic test in which a rapid sequence of images are taken to identify whether the blood circulation of the retina/choroid has any blockages.

Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy
The optomap produces a digital image of the retina using scanning laser technology. It can capture an 82% view of the retina in one session. It can assist with earlier detection in diseases of the retina.
Retinal Ultrasound
B-scan ultrasonography is used to provide information about the lens, vitreous, retina, choroid, sclera and orbit. This exam is completed by applying a probe over the eyelid to detect certain abnormalities which are not easily captured on other devices or to provide complimentary information to confirm a diagnosis.
