DEVICE NAME
AUTOREFRACTOMETER
FUNCTION
Provides an approximate value of the eye's preion.
DEVICE NAME
LENSMETER (FOCIMETER)
FUNCTION
Measures the preion value of eyeglass lenses.
DEVICE NAME
IOL MASTER
FUNCTION
It is an advanced device that measures the length of the eye and calculates the power and preion of the artificial lens.
DEVICE NAME
HRA (Heidelberg Retina Angiograph)
FUNCTION
It is a device capable of performing FFA and ICG (provides information about the choroid layer, the densely vascularized area between the nerve layer of the eye (retina) and the white layer (sclera). It is performed by administering a special dye (indocyanine) intravenously).
DEVICE NAME
OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT)
FUNCTION
It is a modern imaging method capable of providing cross-sectional images of the retinal anatomy. It is used for the evaluation of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and imaging of anterior segment structures, as well as for pathologies such as macular edema, macular hole, epiretinal membrane, age-related macular degeneration, optic nerve head drusen, and optic disc pit.
DEVICE NAME
ORBSCAN
FUNCTION
Maps the transparent layer of the eye (cornea) and measures its thickness.
DEVICE NAME
FLUORESCEIN ANGIOGRAPHY (FFA)
FUNCTION
Provides information about the structure of the retinal layer and blood vessels. It is performed by administering a special dye (fluorescein) intravenously. It is imaged with a photography or video camera.
WARNING The medication used carries a risk of allergy, however slight. If you have a drug allergy, you must inform your doctor.
DEVICE NAME
BIOMETRY
FUNCTION
Measures the length of the eye and calculates the power of the artificial lens (implanted during cataract surgery).
DEVICE NAME
COMPUTERIZED VISUAL FIELD (PERIMETRY)
FUNCTION
It is a test used to measure and evaluate the visual field. It is crucial for the detection and follow-up of glaucoma. Additionally, it is used in the monitoring of conditions such as retina and orbital tumors, brain tumors, migraines, and thyroid-related disorders.
WARNING
Near vision glasses preions are required during the visual field test. It is recommended that the patient arrives well-rested and after a full night's sleep.
DEVICE NAME
FREQUENCY DOUBLING PERIMETRY (FDP)
FUNCTION
It is a device that helps with early diagnosis and allows for shorter tests to measure the visual field.
