Glencoe Optometrists uses modern digital imaging technology to assess your vision. Retinal images can be stored electronically, providing our optometrist with permanent data and records of your retina’s overall health and condition.
Digital imaging is essential in detecting changes to the retina. Your optometrist uses these crucial measurements to help diagnose various eye diseases that can gradually affect eye structures, including the retina, optic nerve, and internal eye pressure, such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
Patients may be referred to the Westmount location for additional testing, if needed. Contact our team for more information about advanced eye imaging!
Digital imaging provides many advantages, such as:
By using our imaging technology, we can gain a more detailed and comprehensive view of your eyes and assess their health. Through technology, we can measure important structures such as retinal thickness and track changes over time that might indicate an eye condition.
Together with our technology, our optometrists are better able to monitor your eye health and detect problems early, helping to keep your eyes healthy and seeing clearly for years to come.
Advanced eye imaging employs the use of various modern technologies, such as digital retinal imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual field testing, which allow us to track changes in your eyes and vision over time.
Sometimes, our vision changes so subtly that we cannot tell the difference between what it was like a year ago and what we see today. These gradual or even microscopic changes may not seem important, but they can indicate an emerging eye disease.
Our technology provides objective measurements to track over time, so changes to your vision don’t go unnoticed. Learn more about the different technologies we use during your eye exams.
This technology captures a high-resolution digital picture of the retina, at the back of your eye. This allows your optometrist to evaluate your eye’s overall health, specifically focusing on your retina, optic nerve, and retinal structures.
OCT is like a noninvasive ultrasound for the eye. Instead of sound waves, this technology uses light to create a comprehensive map of the retina and optic nerve, producing a 3D image of the eye’s structure. OCT scans can show the layers of your retina, allowing your optometrist to measure and track any changes to its thickness and health.
A visual field test helps measure your area of sight, or how wide you can see while staring at a central point. This technology employs a light spot that is presented repeatedly in different areas of peripheral (side) vision. Patients must focus on a central fixation light, pressing a button when the side light appears in their sight.
Glencoe Optometrists uses modern technologies to provide access to accurate and swift diagnoses for our patients. Your eye health is vital to us, and you deserve quality care for your vision.
