A CT scan of the cornea is a non-invasive imaging test that uses X-rays to capture detailed pictures of your eye's cornea. It helps in diagnosing diseases or damage, planning for surgery, or evaluating the results of a treatment. It's a safe and painless procedure.

Imaging of the optic nerve is a non-invasive procedure that captures detailed pictures of your optic nerve. It helps doctors assess eye health, particularly for conditions like glaucoma. It's painless, quick, and uses safe technology like MRI or OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography).

An extended visual field exam is a detailed test to evaluate your peripheral (side) vision. It helps to detect any potential blind spots which may not be noticeable in daily life. These could be caused by eye diseases like glaucoma, or neurological conditions.

This is a procedure where your doctor examines the eye's internal drainage system, essential for maintaining eye pressure. They use specialized tools to check for blockages or damage that might lead to conditions like glaucoma. It's non-invasive and painless.

This procedure involves creating a new pathway for fluid to flow out of your eye using a tissue graft. It helps to lower eye pressure and prevent damage to your optic nerve, improving eye health and vision.

This procedure uses a laser to create small drainage tracts in the iris, the colored part of your eye. This helps excess fluid escape, reducing pressure in the eye that can cause glaucoma. It's performed in sessions.

Laser repair to improve eye fluid flow is a procedure aimed at treating glaucoma. A laser is used to create a small hole in the eye's drainage system, allowing fluid to flow out more easily. This helps to lower the pressure inside the eye, reducing the risk of vision loss.

Photography of the retina, also known as retinal imaging, is a non-invasive procedure that captures images of the back of your eye. This helps doctors identify and monitor conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy. It's painless and quick, often part of a routine eye exam.
