Technology
Obermark Optometry uses current technology to ensure that our patients receive the best of care. Below are some of the diagnostic instruments we use to diagnose, treat and manage eye disease.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): A scanning laser used to analyze the layers of the retina and optic nerve. Our doctor may elect to use this device during instances where eye disease is suspected during comprehensive eye examination. It is similar to a CT scan of the eye. It works using light without radiation, and is essential for early diagnosis of glaucoma, macular degeneration diabetic and other retinal disease.
Digital Retinal Photography: This instrument is a digital camera that is used to photograph the retina and optic nerve (located in the back of the eye) to document the health of patient's eye. These images are used for monitoring glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, high blood pressure related disease, and other retinal diseases originating from systemic conditions.
Visual Field Analyzer: Our doctor may order this test to measure a patient's peripheral (side) vision. The test emits a series of small lights around a person’s field of vision while they are gazing straight ahead. It documents any loss or change in peripheral vision status due to eye disease, central nervous disorder, or genetic disorder. This test is also used to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma, as well as to determine if eyelid surgery is necessary.
