At the Doctor's discretion, additional evaluations may be necessary for your best care. Our staff can discuss them with you as needed. Some of these services are listed below.

Keratometry

Additional evaluation of the corneal surface, necessary for all contact wearers and refractive surgery patients.

Pachymetry

Ultrasonic measurement of the corneal thickness, necessary for refractive surgery patients.

Visual Fields

Comprehensive mapping of peripheral vision sensitivity to evaluate the presence or extent of vision loss.

Contact Lens Fitting

This is the process of using the examination and corneal measurements to design or redesign any parameter of a contact lens for the individual eye. Conditions as astigmatism, high refractive error, or presbyopia can increase the complexity of the process.

Contact Lens Refitting/Evaluation

After the initial fitting of contact lenses, a patient needs to be observed to evaluate vision and ocular health of the eyes. Change to the contact lens design may be required if vision or ocular health is compromised. Unique ocular conditions may increase the complexity and length on case management for a particular patient.

Color Vision Analysis

Comprehensive analysis of the type and depth of a color vision defect.

Retinal Imaging/Digital Documentation

Capturing a permanent digital image of an eye condition with a camera for the purpose of documentation and monitoring possible progression of a condition.

Low Vision Assessment

Evaluating the need for special devices to improve vision at distance or near. For example, due to a condition such as macular degeneration, an individual may no longer be able to read adequately at near like they once could. In many cases low vision devices can restore a patient's ability to read those things they were not able to see any more due to the development of the macular degeneration.
