Technology State of the art.
The Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph (HRT) 
 


The Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph is a system that combines a laser scanning camera and specialized software that evaluates the optic nerve. The HRT may diagnose glaucoma years before symptoms become apparent to our patients. The HRT gives measurements of size, depth, and shape of the optic nerve and is especially useful at detecting small changes over time. Learn More

 
  Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
 

Optical Coherence Tomography, or 'OCT', is a technology for non-invasively obtaining sub-surface images of translucent or opaque materials at a resolution equivalent to a low-power microscope. It is effectively 'optical ultrasound', imaging reflections from within tissue to provide cross-sectional images. With this new technology, your doctor has the ability to accurately measure parts of the eye including the Optic Nerve. This gives your doctor the capability of early detection and treatment of eye conditions such as, Macular Swelling, Macular Holes, and even Optic Nerve Damage.
