Highly detailed measurements of the eye are taken earlier surgery which allow our surgeons to calculate the right type and power of AOL to implant. Using technology such as partial coherence interferometry, the AOL Master provides consistently precise results, which are needed in complex calculations made by our surgeons earlier cataract surgery. In recent years, digital cameras have been used by ophthalmologists to image the retina and optic nerve. Now, a fresh technology called con focal scanning laser is being worn to attain greater clarity and enable evaluation of deeper retinal structures than previously possible. Technology associated with Retinal assessment. The reflected light enables production of both cranky sectional and three dimensional images, and provides our ophthalmologists with a unique perspective of the structures of the eye. The introduction of ACT technology in ophthalmology has made an colossal impact on diagnosis and management of various diseases of the macula, retina and optic nerve, such as age related macula degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. The Pentacam provides our surgeons with advanced measurements for the diagnosis of cataracts, glaucoma and corneal disease. During measurement extraneous eye movements are detected with a second pupil camera and automatically corrected during the calculation process. These data then produce the basis for a three dimensional model of the total anterior eye segment. This includes an objective determination of the central radii, corneal asphericity, various colored maps of curvature and elevation, chamber angle, chamber volume and chamber elevation as well as lens transparency. The Humphrey Field analyses is the maximum perfect way to assess a person’s visual field, and is the worldwide gold standard in the assessment of a visual field. It enables the systematic measurement of differential light sensitivity in the visual field by the detection of the presence of test targets on a defined background. The Humphrey Field analyses carefully maps and quantifies the visual field, especially at the harsh periphery.
