Advanced Technology for Better Care
The office is equipped with modern diagnostic tools, including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), to catch issues earlier and manage disease more precisely.
OCT Imaging
OCT provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve, helping detect glaucoma and other diseases before vision loss occurs.
This allows monitoring of subtle structural changes over time so treatment can be started or adjusted at the right moment.
Glaucoma Management
Combining OCT data with clinical examination and pressure measurements enables more accurate diagnosis and tracking of glaucoma progression.
Early detection and consistent follow-up significantly reduce the risk of permanent vision loss in glaucoma patients.
Dry Eye & Punctal Occlusion
For patients with chronic dry eye, tiny plugs can be placed in the tear drainage openings (puncta) to help natural tears stay on the eye longer and improve comfort.
This in-office procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and works alongside other dry eye therapies to reduce burning, irritation, and fluctuating vision.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Suite
Modern equipment supports a broad scope of practice, from monitoring diabetic eye changes to assessing macular conditions in addition to routine refraction. This technology-focused approach means patients can receive more complete care in a convenient setting.
