Eye Doctors Require the Best
Technology to Provide the
Best Eye Care

At Master Eye Associates we believe that having leading edge, breakthrough
technology is a way of showing that we care about you. The only way to
provide you the absolute best care is to have the best diagnostic technology. No doctor can provide an accurate diagnosis without the proper instruments in which to perform the needed testing. If the diagnosis is not correct the proper treatment cannot be provided!

                                                                        

                                              To better diagnose and monitor glaucoma, retina disease including macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy we use the best technology.

Our Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomographer provides an image resolution 200% better than an MRI.

 

 

 

 

Specular microscopy is only available in less than 0.5% of eye doctor offices in the U.S.  This instrument is critical to diagnose numerous serious corneal diseases that can be potentially vision threatening.  The eye doctors at Master Eye Associates are on the leading edge of diagnosing corneal diseases using the high powered specular microscope, which enables our optometrist experts to view the posterior cornea with unparalleled magnification up to 440x!

 

The following list highlights some of the instruments available at Master Eye offices:

Diagnosis For	Instrument/Service	Benefits
Corneal Diseases	Specular Microscopy	Diagnosis of corneal diseases early enough to avoid sight threatening complications
Retina diseases & Diabetic Retinopathy	Digital Retinal Imaging/Retinal Photography	Monitor possible retinal tumors, assist in diagnosis of retina disorders
Glaucoma	Ocular Coherence Tomography (spectral domanin) and GDxVCC Scanning Laser Polarimeter	One of the world’s most sophisticated instruments for glaucoma detection.  Can diagnose glaucoma 5-6 years earlier than other  methods.
Ocular Hypertension / Glaucoma	Non-contact Tonometer	Accurate, objective measurements of intra-ocular pressure in the eye
Ocular Hypertension / Glaucoma	Applanation Tonometer	Accurate measurements of ocular pressure
Corneal Thickness for glaucoma and refractive surgery/LASIK evaluation	Ultrasound Pachometer	Determine significant risk factor for glaucoma and determine LASIK candidacy
Glaucoma, retinal disease, neurological disorders	Humphrey Computerized Visual Field Analyzer	Evaluate loss of visual fields or reduction in sensitivity of retinal tissue to detect various diseases.
Glaucoma, retinal disease, neurological disorders	Welch-Allyn Frequency Doubling Technology Field Analyzer	Screening of visual fields or reduction in sensitivity of retinal tissue to detect various diseases.
Unexplained vision loss, keratoconus, contact lens problems, irregular astigmatism, contact lens prescriptions	Corneal Topographer	Precise measurement of the anterior corneal surface topography. Most accurate method to design contact lenses.
LASIK candidate evaluation and Keratoconus evaluations	Orbscan IIz	Cannot have LASIK safely without this test although most doctors DO NOT HAVE this instrument!
Cataracts, Conjunctivitis, Iritis and other anterior eye diseases	Slit Lamp Biomicroscope	Illuminated high magnification system for excellent view of the eye
Retinal diseases and Glaucoma	Binocular Indirect Ophthalmoscope	Binocular evaluation of the inside of the eye
Zyoptix Custom LASIK and unexplained poor vision, night glare and haloes	Zywave Aberrometer	Analyzes vision 25 times more accurately than conventional refractive measurements
Dry Eye Syndrome, Keratoconjunctivits sicca, superficial punctate keratitis	Dry Eye Tests, Quick Zone, Fluorescein Tear Break Up Test	Diagnoses dry, irritated eyes due to tear flow complications
Refractive errors (Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism)	Refractor (phoropter)	Conventional method used to subjectively evaluate for eyeglass prescriptions
Refractive errors (Myopia, Hyperopia, Astigmatism)	Computerized auto-refractor	Computerized objective refraction
Contact Lens prescriptions	Computerized auto-keratometer	Measurement of the central area of the cornea to assist in prescribing contact lenses
Evaluate current glasses prescription	Computerized auto-lensometer	Used to assist in accurately prescribing contacts and eyewear
Ocular Foreign body removal	Alger brush / spud instrument	Allows removal of foreign material and rust in the cornea from metallic objects
Color vision defects	Color Vision Test	Evaluate for color deficiency
Depth Perception	Stereopsis Binocular Test	Evaluate depth perception / binocular function of the eyes
Dry eye evaluation and treatment	Lacrimal (tear duct) Dilator	Used to allow insertion of temporary or permanent punctal plugs to treat dry eyes
