At 2020 Advanced Eye Care, exceptional care begins with our tools. Modern optometry gives us the ability to see more, diagnose sooner, and personalize your care with incredible accuracy and comfort. The technology in our office is selected to support clear vision today and lifelong eye health. We use the appropriate equipment based on your needs, past diagnoses, and vision concerns to provide a comprehensive assessment of your eye health.
High-resolution digital retinal imaging enables us to capture detailed images of the back of your eyes in just a few seconds. Many of today’s cameras capture wide field images, giving us a broader view of your retina without the need for dilation in most cases. These images help us clearly see your optic nerve, blood vessels, and retinal layers, which are key areas affected by conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease. Because images are stored and compared year after year, even the smallest changes can be detected early, making this technology one of the most valuable parts of your annual eye exam.
OCT is similar to an ultrasound but uses light instead of sound to create highly detailed cross-sectional images of the retina. This machine scans the back of your eye without touching it, providing layers of information that cannot be seen through a traditional exam alone. It allows us to evaluate the thickness of the retinal tissue, measure the health of the optic nerve, and identify fluid or structural changes long before symptoms develop. OCT is an essential tool for monitoring glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and many other chronic conditions that benefit from early and ongoing detection and monitoring.
Corneal topography creates a detailed map of the front surface of your eye by capturing thousands of tiny measurements in seconds. This map shows us the shape, curvature, and subtle irregularities of the cornea, which play an important role in vision and comfort. These details allow us to tailor contact lens fittings, especially for specialty or hard-to-fit lenses. Corneal topography also helps identify and monitor keratoconus, assess dryness or surface irritation, and guide treatment plans for patients considering refractive surgery. The more we understand the shape of your cornea, the more accurately we can improve your vision.
Measuring eye pressure is one of the most important steps in screening for glaucoma. Instead of relying solely on the older air puff method, we use modern, gentle instruments that provide highly accurate readings without discomfort. Some of these devices use soft contact tips to measure pressure in a more precise way, while others use non-contact sensors that reduce anxiety for sensitive patients. Accurate pressure readings allow us to detect glaucoma early and track changes over time to protect your long-term vision.
Autorefractors and digital phoropters are an essential part of eye exam tools and technology that help us determine your prescription quickly and accurately. The autorefractor provides an initial measurement of how your eye focuses light, giving us a reliable starting point for your exam. The digital phoropter makes the familiar vision comparison process smoother and more exact by allowing tiny adjustments that result in a more precise prescription. These tools enhance efficiency, accuracy, and patient comfort during every exam.
Your peripheral vision is a window into the health of your eyes and brain. Our visual field analyzer measures your side vision to detect blind spots, pattern changes, or areas of reduced sensitivity. These results help identify early glaucoma, monitor neurological conditions, and evaluate symptoms such as headaches or visual disturbances. The test is simple, non-invasive, and provides essential information that supports your overall eye health.
At 2020 Advanced Eye Care, we combine compassionate, family-centered service with the most trusted tools in modern optometry. Whether you are scheduling your first visit or continuing your journey with us, you can feel confident knowing that your vision is protected with expertise, attention, and heart.
