Optical Coherent Tomography (OCT)
OCT scan has significantly enhanced the treatment spectrum in the field of Ophthalmology.
It has positively changed the treatment plan and enables an ophthalmologist to treat patients in a very efficient way. It can produce 3D images of the posterior layer of the eye called the Retina (OCT Macula) in routine however it can also demonstrate anterior segment structure in detail as well as OCT angiography (OCT-A) gives a detailed view of blood circulation in deep retinal and choroidal layers.
It is in routine use for early detection of sight-threatening glaucomatous damage (Glaucoma) which is very helpful both for patients as well as eye physicians. It can diagnose many sight-threatening conditions like Glaucoma.
There are many retinal diseases in routine patients for which we need to do OCT Scan
- Macular hole
- Age-related macular
- degeneration
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Epi-retinal membrane
- Cystoid macular edema
It is used not only for the diagnosis of disease but also helps in the evaluation and response of treatment prescribed in quantitative values and follow-up.
It is totally painless and comfortable procedure that can easily produce results in a few seconds. We at VisionX Laser and Eye Clinic have the latest and up-to-date equipment to diagnose and treat patients at an affordable price. In the same way, our best eye surgeons can help you with proper diagnosis and treatment.
Visual Field Test
Visual field test tells us about your visual field details and surroundings of visual fields that are seen from the corner of your eyes when you focus on the center of your visual field. This test can rule out scotoma (blind spot) in your vision and constriction of the visual field like in glaucoma.
Visual field testing can not only rule out retinal diseases but also neurological diseases like visual field loss due to optic nerve compression or Brain occupying lesions or focal defects.
Visual field testing also gives feedback regarding the progression of glaucomatous damage which helps an ophthalmologist to make changes in the treatment plan.
B Scan
B scan is an ultrasound of the eyeball and orbit which is recommended in patients having some sort of opacity (hard cataract), anterior structural damages (traumatic), or some mass that blocks the view of the posterior segment of the eye. It has ultrasonic waves which do no harm to the eye or surrounding tissues and show us images of deep eye layers. It can also be helpful in cases of retinal detachment and inflammation of the posterior segment of the eye. It is a painless procedure that can be done in a few minutes by an expert.
Optical Biometry (IOL Master)
As the name shows IOL master is an updated latest investigative device to calculate the power of the Intra-ocular lenses which we need to implant in the eye after cataract surgery. It gives the most accurate results as compared to other devices and it keeps on updating with new formulas used for unusual eyes. It is a NO-touch technique to calculate IOL power. Specifically, when planning for premium intra-ocular lens implantation, biometry (IOL calculation) must be done on IOL Master.
At VisionX Laser and Eye Clinic, we have the latest machinery and experienced staff to offer the best results.
Corneal Topography
Corneal topography gives numerical and quantitative data about 1st layer of the eye called the Cornea. The cornea is a clear (mirror) layer of our eyes that acts like a lens to see objects. It is the anterior-most layer that provides maximum power to bring the light rays to focus at a point on the retina. Many diseases of the cornea can lead to blindness. With the help of corneal topography, we can help to detect keratoconus at an earlier stage and prevent blindness. It not only helps to diagnose but also helps in treatment options and later follow-ups. Nowadays refractive surgery is becoming the safe way to get rid of eyeglasses and correction of refractive errors and is in high demand. Corneal topography is a must before any cornea-related procedure.
Yag Laser
A type of laser that is commonly used to remove opacified layer behind the intra-Ocular lens if it gets hazy. This layer is also called secondary cataracts. A very simple and painless procedure that helps in improving the haziness in the eyes after cataract surgery. After installation of dilating drops in the eyes within minutes, this layer is removed and vision is restored. Apart from this, the laser is also used in some cases of glaucoma and pre-retinal haemorrhages.
Argon Laser
Argon laser OR Green laser is used to treat diseases of the retina. It can secure the retina from the severe effects of diabetes on the eyes. It can also prevent retinal detachment from retinal holes or retinal breaks if timely detected on physical examination of peripheries of the retina which are quite common in myopic eyes. It can also protect the retina from upcoming severe vision-threatening complications of retinal vascular diseases.
