Equipment

     Diagnosable Conditions

• Slit Lamp Microscope

Uses a thin beam of light and microscope to examine eye structures in detail.

Anterior segment diseases (keratoconjunctivitis, dry eye, etc.)
Cataracts, uveitis, vitreous opacities
Retinal examination possible with contact/non-contact lenses

• Tonometer
(Non-contact & Contact)

Measures eye pressure using air puff or contact method.

Glaucoma, ocular hypertension

• Visual Field Analyzer (Humphrey)

Tests visual field by measuring response to light stimuli at various positions and intensities.

Visual pathway disorders from eye to brain
(Glaucoma, optic nerve diseases, intracranial conditions including tumors and strokes)

• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

1. Uses light interference to create cross-sectional images of 10 retinal layers
2. Observes nerve fiber layer defects that can lead to central vision loss in glaucoma

1. Macular diseases (macular degeneration, macular hole)
2. Glaucoma
