Specialty Tests
3D SLITLAMP BIOMICROSCOPY
Allows us to view the outside and inside structures of the eye under 3 dimensional high magnification. It is particularly useful in assessing cataracts and the optic nerve.
DIGITAL RETINAL CAMERA
We can photograph and store fine detail images of the retina inside your eye. This allows us to detect changes associated with sight threatening conditions much easier and quicker than ever before.
Digital image of a normal eye, showing optic nerve, blood vessels and central macula.
NON-CONTACT TONOMETRY
A quick and painless test which puffs a small amount of air onto the eye. Used to measure the pressure inside the eye. Helps us to detect glaucoma.
VISUAL FIELD ANALYSER
A powerful computerised test that maps defects in you peripheral vision. It checks the heath of the optic nerve all the way back to the visual cortex in the brain. It is extremely accurate in detecting damage caused by glaucoma.
MEDMONT CORNEAL TOPOGRAPHER
A specialised instrument that maps the surface of the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped window of the eye, providing a 3-dimensional topographical map just like the geographical map showing the hills and valleys of a country. Used in the diagnosis and management of corneal conditions especially keratoconus. It also aids in the custom designing of speciality contact lenses and the lenses used in orthokeratology, and the management of patients who are considering or have undergone laser refractive surgery.
MPOD
Short for macular pigment optical density analyser. A powerful computerised test that actually measures the level of pigment in the central retina. Our macular pigment protects the macula from aging by filtering out harmful blue light and mopping up free radicals. If your pigment levels are low you are more at risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. We can rebuild your macula pigment levels back to a safe level by putting you on a course of a special anti-oxidant formula.
COLOUR RESPONSE ASSESSMENT SOFTWARE
Used to detect and measure Irlen's condition to accurately prescribe Tech tints which will alleviate the symptoms of Irlen's and to control migraines and headaches.
