What is involved in this examination

What does the Advanced Eye Examination involve?

The Advanced Eye Examination involves three main components: OCT scan, Retinal Photography and Anterior eye Digital Slit Lamp Imaging.

Retinal photography 

involves taking a photograph of the back of the eye so that we can get a detailed assessment of the Optic Nerve Head, Blood vessels & Macula. This is important for detecting & monitoring retinal eye conditions & general health conditions.

Digital Slit lamp Imaging

can assess the front of the eye including the eyelids, tear film, corneas & lens. This can be really useful for monitoring & treating common conditions such as blepharitis (inflammation for the eyelids) & dry eye. We can also monitor cataract development in the lens and show you how it changes from year to year.

REVO FC OCT

Our REVO FC OCT scanner gives an extremely fast, non-invasive and accurate assessment of deep retinal layers. You could think of it as the MRI for the eye.
